Before going riding it was almost as though the battery was dead...wouldn't start up. But a few minutes later it started like nothing. Went riding for about half an hour, stopped, turned it off and then it wouldn't start again. Waited for a while and then it started. Then the winch wouldn't let out. This morning tried starting it and got 3 error codes (51, 52, 54). I've read alot about kill switches being faulty and so on. Has anyone experienced this problem? Sounds electrical according to the codes...any suggestions on narrowing down what the problem could be?
