Hey guys just got a 2010 rzr 4 800 and the night I brought it how it had trouble cranking had to try a couple time and then it seemed to run good until I killed it and would try to start it again it wouldn't.

When I turn the key the engine tries to start for like a second then nothing. I was thinking maybe the fuel pump but I'm not sure how to verify this as I'm completely new to these. Was told by the owner maybe battery but its getting juice just wont fully start which is leading me to suspect the fuel pump.

Also I'm not getting any error codes besides the wait and end.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you put the new battery on the charger overnight before you installed it in your RZR and tried to start it? If not, do it! If, after your new battery is fully charged, your RZR still doesn't spin-over rapidly, you just may have a starter problem, i.e., it's "dragging". If it's turning-over rapidly and still won't start, check the fuel-pump pressure and the spark-plugs. Next, would be a compression-check.

Cheers

OK, I am going to assume that you are saying it starts to "crank" or spin the engine over, but then the starter begins to bog down, like you are trying to start a V-8 engine?
Lets stay away from the fuel pump suggestions for now, because that is an entirely different set of conditions.
The first thing that comes to my mind, is that the front needle bearing in the starter motor has failed, and because of that, your starter armature is now dragging on the magnets. It acts like you have a nearly dead battery.
Again, assuming that you can go ride, with all of the draw on the battery like fuel pump, tail lights ecu etc, the battery is likely OK. You really need to check some of this stuff close to home. Make certain that your battery is holding at least 12.4 volts with the engine off. It should climb to about 13.8 volts with the engine running above 2500 rpm
Get back to us for further diagnostics.

Hey guys charged the battery all the way up and in about 30-45 minutes of running it the Needle starts flashing and the Battery light starts flashing for another 10-15 minutes then the rzr doesn't want to move and dies.

Hooked up a volt meter to the battery while running and I don't see it charging at all just slowly declines and dies.
