kwhetstine Posted November 22, 2015 So I was going to trade my 03 CRF450R for a 04 YFZ450 quad. Kid has had the quad for a few months, put a battery in it and rode it a couple times. He said a few weeks ago he had to put a new battery in it again, and tonight when I went to his house to swap he couldnt get it to start. I was able to get it to fire on a battery box jumper, but it had to stay connected. I got it running and 100% warmed up and I disconnected the charger that helped get it running and it died immediately. The bike has electric and kick start. First, with kick start back up why does it need a battery in it to run? It seems to me the kick start shouldnt be there if you need the battery to keep it running anyways. Second, since there is obviously a drain or charging problem where should I start? Never had an electric start quad like this. I havent traded yet but I would like the quad so if I can help the guy work though this I will still make the trade. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renselridez Posted November 22, 2015 Stator probably isn't charging the battery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renselridez Posted November 22, 2015 Your stator will put a charge out to the ignition which fires your plug to burn fuel I'd say a stator problem all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwhetstine Posted November 23, 2015 Do these put out a charge at 14.4 just like a car or what voltage should it say when its charging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
