Hello

New to the forum. I have had my bike stored at the camp for the winter. I tried starting it a couple days ago no luck would turn over just wouldn't start due to lack of battery power. I pulled the battery and charged it and was able to start it. Left it running for a few and took off nice and easy. Bike was running fine and then all of a sudden I lost power and bike shut off. Went to start it again turned the key and nothing not even a sound. Display wont even light up. I had no time to pull the battery again. Does anybody think the battery completely died on me or could it be something else?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is my first ATV and would like to fix it myself.

if the Battery was not charged during the storage period then it is could be finished. the battery needs to be attached to a battery tender during a storage period.
