Battery or something else???

Bike is a 1997 Fourtrax 4×4

So I was out riding on Saturday, bike worked fine. Brought it home and had to clean it up (really friggin’ muddy) so I used my pressure washer which took almost an hour. Cleaned the bike up, started it and parked it in the back yard.

Tonight when I went to start it, turned the key and no lights came on (no headlights, or neutral light). I tried to kick start it, the lights came on for a second (it did almost turn over), then nothing the next kick and tried kicking about 3 more times. No lights will flicker when trying to kick start it at all.

It does have a winch connected NOT to an ignition wire (winch will work without the key on), but I never had any battery drain issues (I never connected the winch this way).

Is it the battery (currently have it on a trickle charger), or is this something else? I figured even with a bad/dead battery, the kick start should turn it over…

Any thoughts?

Best low end clutch springs

Hey guys. I have a 2012 grizzly 700. It’s got a snorkel, lift, and 29.5 outlaws. I want more bottom end torque for the tires (and so I can do wheelies). I usually don’t ride over 30mph. All mud and trails. Looking for a good way to increase throttle response as well. If anyone has a good clutch kit or spring in mind I would appreciate it. Also a programmer would be nice too. No exhaust yet but I would put that on before the programmer

Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada

Hey all,
Finally broke down and bought a quad…2016 Sportsman 450 HO. Been 20 yrs since I had a quad, how things have changed…lol. My last bike was a 1990-ish Suzuki lt250. Loving my new toy so far, still getting used to not having to change gears though. I’m sure i’ll be a regular on the forum.

2015 Max lift

Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a 2"-3" lift for my Maverick Max.Tried Highlifter but said will not work for Max models.Was thinking of just getting the bracket lift due to cost.Any pros or cons to these?

clutch

Have a question for ya? This is my first automatic Quad, love it by the way, but heard leaving it idle in gear, high, is bad for the clutch, true or false? Tend to our trails and get off machine a lot and don’t want to damage anything, warranty is just about done! Any input would be awesome!

Winch Control with Mirrors?

Anyone know how they are mounting the winch controller on the 1000 touring Limited with the mirrors on it? I have the black non limited xp, added the winch controller where the mirror was – left side, now I don’t have a good spot to put the mirror back.

Looks like they have a nice solution for the Limited.
