Need help as my 2007 MCXpess Turbo mtn lite wont start??

[Mad Cat]

Well i will start buy saying that this is the first issue I"ve had with my sled,so im looking for some help or advice on what could be causing this.So here we go i went out to the enclosed trailer and started my MCX turbo phazer to put in the garage to do some minor work,as i have a set of nytro bars with hooks to put in place of the stock straight bars and add some hand gaurds nothing major.Now this is the problem I decided to reroute the K&N filter out from under the seat (Sucking Hot Air)to out the back to get cold air as so many guys have said to do then i took a Hindle xhaust pipe that i had taking up space on the bench for a nice sound and less restrictive setup as most have also suggested so i mock up both pipe and filter and start the sled to hear how she sounded and all was good ,sounded wicked (Started it for only 20 30 seconds)so i say great and I shut it down to weld the pipe on to the turbo end over on the bench and glue the pvc pipe together for th k&N filter.Now all is done and i put it all back together and again go to start it to hear what she sounds like and take a little test rip across the field but the thing wont start it just wines and wines with a couple of little offer start puffs and then nothing only wines till the battery ran down so i put the booster box on and wind it again and same thing no go, so i pull everthing back off and try to start her with out filter or exhaust and again nothing only a couple of small offer sounds but again the battry is down so i put it all back on charge and pull the plastic and tank to get at the plugs to see if shes flooded and it seems like it might have been flooded a bit so i dry the plugs off and reinstall everthing and give a try,again the same thing couple of little offers and i killed the battery.By now im lossing my so i walk away to keep my cool and let her sit for the night in the nice warm garage and come into th house and surf for some answers from knowledgeable folks here on TY.
So here I am ,sled wont start,and I must say as it is never very easy to start , it wines quite a bit for the first start each day but after that it is mostly fine.Now mind you the battery is always dead each morning,I have to put the boost box on and away she goes and i had it at a dealer and he tested it and it did hold a charge, but if it was only the battery i would go pick on up and be done with it so what is everyones take on this problem and is there anything i could get to righten my problem or a recall to fix the hard start thing?As my dealer is really good with fixing recalls on our sleds .Sorry for being so long winded but I had to explain it as best i could and i dont now if I did a good job at that.
Im still leaning towards it being flooded as it was started and shut off fairly quick,Whos with me and has anyone else had this problem .Is there anything to get fairly cheap to fix the cold start problem.
Thanks Roger

Try new plugs. They seem to foul pretty easily. Also , is your gas fresh? I have had problems with old gas. The Phazers are very particular about gas.

Will thanks for you sugestions and help,it was the plugs as i hunted down a set as the yamaha dealer is closed on Sunday and no of the other dealers had any CR9EK plugs so i went to Canadian tire and they also never had any lor even any info on the Phazer ,so they looked up a set for the 04 rx1 as i rememdered reading somewhere that they had the same plug and the computer said the rx1/04 took NGK CR9E and NGK IRIDIUM CR9EIX,is anyone else fimilar with this plug or what are you using.is this the correct plug for my MCXpress phazer.
Thanks Roger

Service manual states CR9EKB for the Phazer.

Sounds like you fouled the plugs.

Yep it was fouled plugs and needless to say i wont start it up and shut it down untill the light goes out on those cold starts anymore,as it a pain in the A$$ to change the plugs,the whole front plastic and more has to come off
Cheers Roger
