Is there a link to a owners manual for this trike.

I am also having some problems with the electric start. I charged the battery and all I get is an click.

As for the battery, it sounds like its not strong enough.

Thanks for the manual.

I charged it all last night, I tired a jump pack on it today, and I still get a click.

Is there a way I can jump the starter and see if the starter works.

Well I'm getting over 12 volts at the starter, So I assume its a bad starter?

It may not be the starter, but the starter relay.
You could try to jump start it with cables. Hook them up to an auto and place hot on starter bolt where the wire connects to it then ground the other end. If it turns over it's probably not the starter.

Ok, I tried jumping it, Did the same thing just a click. So I took my screw driver handle and wacked the starter and got a little whine out of it. I tried to take it out but I couldnt figure how it comes out after the 4 screws.

Im guessing I need another starter.

Pulled it apart and its basiclly shot. It needs brushes, Im going to try a set of the aftermarket ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ATV-Starter-Replacement-Brush-Kit-Yamaha-by-Kimpex_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43976QQihZ022QQi temZ350169537464QQtcZphoto
