Hello,
I have an 02 Viper that has an intermittent battery problem. The battery is new. It works good for a few trips out then,while out travelling ,i'll go to start it and the battery will be dead.The battery will not charge during riding. Manula start and everything is OK. If I take it out and charge it , it will be OK for a couple of weeks and then die while I am out on a trail. I have checked the harness for rub through and it is OK. The only other thing I notice is the hand / thumb warmers are not nearly as warm as the ones on my other viper.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Ditch the battery, too much weight 
!
Use the pull start to spark it up.
If that sled is anything like my 91 Indy the warmers and evreything will still work with the battery disconnected.
My .02 may not be worth the copper if you really like to have electric start though.

When you say it is not charging did you check the voltage? Is it truly not charging the battery?
