Must have been what was wrong with my 4 wheeler battery recently. Ran fine one minute and when I tried to start it again it would not do anything. The monitor screen was flickering with crazy information coming up.
It is not easy to get to the battery but I took off the front rack and with a voltmeter I was getting good voltage numbers which indicated the battery was charged. I knew it was electrical but thought it was in the key on/off switch. Hauled it to service location and after a week they charged me for a new battery plus $90 labor to install it :(
I guess a load test would have picked the bad battery up rather than just a quick voltmeter reading.
