Good chance you fried your battery. You should never connect a charger with an output over 1 1/2 amp to any ATV etc. The liquid quickly evaporates out of the battery. Are you aware that a 2002 can be pull/push started? After you get a new battery, if you still have problems let me know and I will tell you how to troubleshoot.

Is there a cheaper/better bat. Alternative?My brother put a jet ski battery in his yfz and it was better for half the price with just a lil plastic cutting. Thanx

Check EBay & Walmart. I have bought one from each. Walmart was $4 or 5 more but ready to use and seems stronger.
