Battery?

2015 Summit 800 E-start. Battery charged and charger says it’s good. Solenoid clicks. Thinking it’s the solenoid. All connections are good. What do you guys think? Ever have a solenoid act like this?

Jump the heavy wires on the solenoid and if it cranks it is the contacts in the solenoid. If it can be opened it may be possible to clean the contacts but likely you will just be replacing it.

Yup had this happen.
Check the main grounding point at the lower right hand footwell. I think its right hand.
Clean up and ensure it is tight.

An easy way to check is hold the starter button. you will hear solenoid click. then hit lower bottem of panel (R/H). Starter should engage.
Seen this lots when guys service the chain case (remove) it.

What makes it betters when it works some times and not others. Still usually boils down to that grounding point.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

try using a load tester some batteries will look and tell the charger ok but if 1 of the cells are dead it will not have the power to turn starter when a battery gets low they will freeze

^^^^^^^^^^^^^* 100%

Use a test light or volt meter to see if the solenoid is passing power through on the large terminals.

Finally got to it yesterday. Checked ground in footwell, bypassed the solenoid, charged the battery and boosted it. Broke down and changed the battery out and bang it worked like a dream. Thanks for all the info. Just wanted to rule everything out before I bought a battery. ��
