Did you actually check the battery voltage?

There are 2 fuses in the battery box along with the fuses on top of the frame.

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

I checked the voltage later after the tender said it was charged the volts said 10.1 volts. So im assuming the battery is bad, all the fuses I've checked are good, so I'll buy another 1 tomorrow.Thanks guys.

Yes definately the battery is out at 10.1V Check also the alternator connector below the riders seat that there isn't oil in it. And check the voltage after the battery change so You can see it's loading. Should be around 14 V with engine running.

check the main fuse in the battery box while you got the battery out.

I have the same problem today. I went to start it. It turned over for about 1 second and then nothing. No dash, no lights, no electrical. Battery is good, reads 12.8 volts. All fuses are good including main fuse. Power appears to be ending somewhere past the fuses. I thought I would look online and find something. Without a schematic I don't know where to look.

Connection appear to be fine. Could it be the relay?
