Re: The 10 wont start ????
Im not familiar with the 10, but when the kill switch is 'off' position, and you insert the key and turn to on, then flick the kill switch 'on', what turns on? Can you pull any fault codes?

Re: The 10 wont start ????
Sounds like the battery is dead. The clicking sounds are usually a relay cutting in and out as it gains and looses power.
Try a multi meter on the battery to see if the voltage drops when you hit the starter. Should stay above 9.5v while cranking.

Shouldn't do that with a new battery. Try putting it in gear, rolling it back & forth & try again.
What is it with 10s & the snowy ride????

Re: The 10 wont start ????
