By everything, I am assuming you mean the charge coils, regulator/rectifier and the battery? Then all you are left with is wiring. Bad charge coils means low or no output. Bad regulator/rectifier can mean either the regulator prevents the charge from getting to the battery or the rectifier is bad and dumping charge to ground or sending AC (Alternating Current) into the battery, which will kill it is short order. If there is no water in the battery or the plates are shorted, it will not accept a charge.

Failing battery or faulty trickle charger or onboard charging system depending where the loss is. Your question loses detail in translation. See if you can find a Dutch forum.

I have a 2012 Polaris sportsman 400 h.o. I have replaced the battery and it will not keep a charge I have replaced a few.

Check the Alternator for proper voltage output, I am sure it is the problem, also you can greatly extend the life of the battery by keeping a "Battery Tender" type charger hooked up when it is in storage.

Why does my Sportsman 400 start by the pull cord, but will not start with the ignition. It turns over fine.

replace the battery as there is not enough charge to start and provide power for the ignition
when you pull start the max power is provided to the ignition system

My 2007 polaris 450 sportsman used to start with the pull start 2nd pull,now it starts for a couple seconds and stalls ,does this three or 4 x then starts and runs fine,by the way it won't start with...

Could be time to replace battery, this is most likely the culprit. These fourwheelers are very picky when it comes to low power. Your starter is also most likely just fine, the clicking you hear is the solenoid on the starter, so your battery has some juice, but not enough amps to turn over the starter. Also If the fourwheeler has sat for a long time then you may just need to charge the battery. The 2007 is most likely fuel inject which uses even more fuel when running and it also has its own computer kind of like a PCM in a car or truck. These all need a good supply of power and the stator which is like an alternator usually needs the help of a fully charged battery to keep everything running properly. Also note, once you get a new battery or charge it in some cases the ATV should run smoother.

Does a bad battery have any bearing on the efi of a Polaris Sportsman 700 2004?

If motor has to constantly charge a battery while running, it could use a bit more fuel.

Battery light keeps blinking on my 2006 polaris sportsman 800 efi

Sounds like you have a dirty ground somewhere. Or it's not charging properly, or can't take a charge because of a faulty battery. Use a dc 12v meter to check the battery.

How to tell if seloid bad?

You can check a solenoid by using an ohm meter. Or just take it to a auto shop and ask them to check it for you if you don't have one. They can check it real quick and shouldn't charge you anything.
