I left my lights on on my 400 ex and the battery died. So i have to push start it cuz the lights dont work and the starter button doesnt work.
I put a new battery in and the lights and stuff still dont work- it does not even make a noise when i push the ignition button.
What else could it be?

 

checked all the wiring?

 

Some new batteries for quads/bikes have to be charged. If not, sounds like the Batt terminals may not be tight enough.

yah i called my friend and he just told me that. I guess i got to take a trip to the hardware store tomorrow and let them charge it. Thanks guys thats prolly what it is

 

just put it in the quad.. put jumper cables on it and run it for a while to charge the battery... i take it u don't know much about doin it cheaply?

 

Check The Fuse Under The Black Cover 400's Are Notorious For Blowing This Fuse

 

well thats better than what your notorious for blowing

 

so what if i blow in your moms ear to get her ready for the sausage

 

my avatar says no mom jokes.thanks bud

 

yea what he said, you cant miss it, it is right beside the battery.

my bike kept blowing then for whatever reason so i just put a 20amp in there (i think the factory is 10 or 15).

problem solved

 

You need a trickel charger to charge fourwheeler and motorcycle batteries you also probaly bought a drycell battery so make shure to mix the acid with water and fill all 6 chambers(i'm guessing you already knew that) Don't leave it on a cement floor either, it will ruin it.

 

sorta defeats the purpose of the fuse

the reason for a low amp fuse is so the fuse frys before your bike does

blowing fuses means a short somewhere

theres not much wiring on a quad .. get a volt meter and do some trouble shooting
