Yamaha wr450 battery wont charge - 2009 Yamaha WR450F

If the battery is completely dead you can go to autozone and get acid refills. The levels can sometimes get low. However, it sounds to me like you would be better off buying a new battery.

Check the fuses and connectors first

Hi,

The starter is deffinately 'dragging'.
Chances are that it has dropped a bush.
I'm not sure if Yamaha does a servie kit for the starter, but your local dealer will give you that info.

Most good auto electricians should be able to assist you.

To test the starter, place a multi metre across the battery terminals(the battery must be fully charged). Crank the motor and check how many amps the starter is drawing. Anything more than 30 amps is a sure sign of a failing starter.

Good luck

Jon
