Yamaha 450 Kodiak battery not charging, new battery, volt meter not showing any voltage going to the battery

Get a battery tender to put on the battery when you aren't using it to keep it fully charged. Check battery connections and grounds.

Check the starter relay plus the starter and solenoid.

Call an auto electrician. The videos may help diagnosis.

This is a common issue with battery powered items... the charger shows charged and there is no power. Have you checked the battery with a multimeter (volt meter)? It will probably show the rated voltage ,, but you have NO AMPERAGE to push the voltage. These batteries only have so many discharges and charges in their life span.. If this sounds like what you are experiencing.. just get a new battery...(my kids power wheels went through this too!)

its either the voltage regulator (most likely) or the stator. you'll need a service manual to check the stator output.

turn the idle down? choke could be stuck too.

Check your fuses.

Does this unit have disc or drum brakes?

probably dirt in sensor on front wheel

hey Tammy... does the neutral light come on??? if not... find neutral..see what happens.. next.. have your batteries CCA checked.. (Cold Cranking Amps)...the amperage is what makes the starter work..NOT voltage...you can take it to Oreilly's, autozone, batteries and bulbs, or your local battery store...
