Hi, I tried to start my Honda sportrax 90 quad today but it wouldn't go, I haven't used it for six months but it was working great then. I took it out the garage and pressed the electric start but there was nothing, I turned the ignition key back and forward a few times but it wasn't making any starting sound at all, it's possible I left the ignition switch on all winter because I think the battery was dead, so I charged the battery then the green ignition light came on, I pressed the start button again but still theres nothing happening. Has anyone got any ideas please? thank you very much

Dead battery. Get it load tested at an auto parts store. If you measured it for only voltage, that is not a good test. It tells us nothing about how many amps it can deliver for cranking.
