Yes, Get a GOOD multimeter. Set it to any DC voltage over 12 volts. (2 people makes this a lot easier!) Crank the engine and put the leads red-red (positive to positive) and then black-black.(negative to negative) on the battery. There should be around 12.4v - 12.5v on idle, when you rev the engine to about 4K rpm+ you should see around 13.5 volts. If not seeing more that 12.8v over 4k rpm you need to find a factory service manual to troubleshoot the problem. Until you see 13.5 or a little higher you will never have it "fixed".

I have a 2012 Yamaha grizzly 300 2wd and it won’t hold a charge in the battery and it seems like it ain’t getting much gas to keep it running need help before I sell

Put a new battery in it and add it to the price. ATV batteries are abused, they need a trickle charge if not used for a month. Expected life in a neglected state would be 3 to 4 years. Is it the original battery and 8 years old? Strip and clean the carburetor.

How do you take the spark resister out of the muffler

you should leave it in there, you'll have to retune the carb if you take it out. it'll run lean, destroy the motor, that kind of thing.

Backfires when you try to rev up engine,

check fuel flow and check spark at spark plugs

According to an "ATV Rider" 2009 article, "When the Grizzly was introduced in 1998 as a 600cc machine, the top was blown right off the displacement wars of the time."
It was replaced in 2002 with Yamaha Grizzly 660, an even bigger engine derived from the well-established all-terrain vehicle (ATV) Yamaha Raptor 660R.
Grizzly's 660 cubic centimeter (cc), four-stroke, liquid-cooled single overhead camshaft, five-valve engine performs well in open country, but sometimes it causes serious problems for owners.
Before you call a Grizzly dealer, however, trying a few tricks in your garage can save you a lot of time and money.

Check the fuel level.
Locate the fuel meter indicator on top of the multifunction display.
If it does not work properly, open the fuel tank, and push the Yamaha 660 Grizzly side to side.
Ensure the fuel is not contaminated by water or rust.
If you have not driven your Grizzly 660 for a long time, drain the tank completely, and fill it with a fuel tank cleaner.

Check fuel hoses for cracks or leakage.
The hoses should be soft and simple to bend.
Replace those that show any sign of wear.

Check the compression.
Screw a compression tester into the spark plug hole, and press the electric starter button.
If no compression exists, contact a Yamaha dealer.
Wipe wet or dirty electrodes with a dry cloth.
The spark plug gap should be checked regularly

Correct the spark plug gap.
Measure the gap with a wire thickness gauge.
If necessary, adjust it to 0.8mm using a screwdriver or replace the spark plug.
Use only a Yamaha-specified spark plug.

Check the Yamaha 660 Grizzly's battery.
Operate its electric starter.
If the Grizzly starts quickly, then its battery is in good condition.
If the engine turns slowly, check the battery lead connections, and you may need to change the battery.
If the engine still does not eventually start, your Grizzly is beyond home repair.
