Battery/charging problem

[baja226sport]

I ran the warrior all day sunday. Ran into a few minor problems. First a fuel leak but more important when I got it home I washed it and then while riding it into the backyard it stalled. TRied to start it again and only noise from the starter solenoid. I jump started it off of my girlfriends Kawi lakota and it started right up. Removed the jumper cables and stalled. Could it be anything besides the stator? What charges the battery? It will run without a battery correct? I recently removed the headlights and the plugs for them are open to the elements. Could they get wet and short something? Any ideas???? Also, plenty of spark while cranking.

Nothing? No ideas at all?

it could be an empty battery (if it is refill it with distilled watter and charge it) or it just be shot like ours was...it probibly isnt your stator (mine did the same thing and there is nothing wrong with the stator), or check your terminals to make sure theyre tight and making a good connection (not corroded). i had to buy a new battery (charged from dealer) and then new terminal bolts cause the stock ones are sucky (soft metal) and it cross threaded...now evreything is fine. (but after all this B/S W/ the battery i want a pullstarter as a secondary)
