I was getting my bike ready for weekend riding and I went to start it and the battery clicked a few times and the bike started.. I then rode it around for a couple of minutes to charge the battery and got a hot warning... So I put the bike back in the garage and killed it. I let it sit for 30 min and went to start again... the battery was dead so I pull started it and it fired right up.... Once again I got the hot warning, so I killed it again. I let it sit for a few hours and charged the battery.. Now I have no power at all and the bike will not pull start... It's like the bike is DEAD... PLEASE HELP need to go riding Sunday...

Would a bad battery make the quad act this way? Or could it be the ECM

try a new battery, its cheaper then the ecm. batteries can do weird things to quads.if a new battery will start it put a voltmeter on the battery and make sure your bike is charging properly.

the hot warning kinda raises a concern for me. is this bike water cooled?

yes it is water cooled...but only ran for 3 minutes before the hot warning. I checked the fluid and it was luke warm... Will put on a new battery tonight and see if that does the trick...thanks guys....
