I have a 2005 Honda Foreman with an original battery. I haven't had a chance to ride it since probably March or April. I went to start it up yesterday and the battery was almost gone and would not start with electric start, so I started it with the pull cord.
I assume if the battery is low, the Indicator/Display lights can come on and stay on? My oil temp light was on right from start up and also the 4wd light was on and blinking. I put the charger on it and went out this morning and was able to start it right away with the electric start and the 4wd light was no longer on. I gave it a little gas and the oil temp light was on faintly. I believe the battery needs to be replaced, as the charger did not show that it was completely charged, but charged enough to start it. As I mentioned, the battery is from 2005 when I bought the atv.
I did not have time to run it around, just let it idle and as I mentioned, the oil temp light would barely light when I hit the throttle. I put the battery back on the trickle charger and will check it again later, plus oil level, air flow, etc.
