Maybe be a loose and dirt connection at the relay.
First try cleaning and tightening all the connections from the battery to the starter and ground.

starter relay clicks,not battery,screen cuts
Hello and thanks for reading, lets go back a couple months ,, 2004 660 when starting the relay would click screen would cut out and then the second time you tried it would start im pretty sure it acted like that even after the engine was warm, a couple weeks ago it wouldn't start and I put the battery tender on it over night, the next day it started right up,, ran it for awhile and it wouldn't start again after that even after being on the tender. The snow storm we had the other week I was able to still plow with it by using the pull starter, I pull started it about five different times from cold with limited problems. I then borrowed a battery charger from a friend with a jump start option. once firmly attached it started right up. I bought a new battery that came today, changed it while wiring brushing the cables and the relay just clicks and the screen cuts out. Is it as simple as a new relay or could it be the starter it self since it does pull start . also while plowing the winch was really slow coming up so a dying battery made sense. any help is appreciated

update
Hello just wanted to give a closing update on what my issue was. So simple and silly,,the old battery was bad like suspected. the four or five batteries i put in this through out the years were Yuasa brand found on ebay for about eighty bucks. With having front and rear fog lights, heated grips and a battery tender lead all connected to the terminals I had to get longer screws to go into the posts for all the eye hooks. This battery I got was the moose utility battery because it has a little more cold cranking amps and while plowing the foglights and winch had alot of draw so I thought this could only help. The problem was the depth of the terminal posts in the new battery was ever so slightly shallower and the negative terminal when the screw asppeared and felt tight to the turn was bottoming out with about one thread to go. Seamed tight but had just enough space to not allow a full connection even tho winch and everything worked fine just wouldnt turn over. Took it off and added a washer , and the beast is alive again. thanks for all the reads and regem for your time and advice. Hope this helps someone someday.

I had the same thing happen to me when I replaced my battery , bolt feels tight but not clamping the connections tight enough. Probably a common problem for people with a lot of accessories...thanks Outlaw for updating the thread.
also like said above clean the connections. use a wire brush
Check your connections at the starter relay my 06 660 did the exact same thing a couple years backHello and thanks for reading, lets go back a couple months ,, 2004 660 when starting the relay would click screen would cut out and then the second time you tried it would start im pretty sure it acted like that even after the engine was warm, a couple weeks ago it wouldn't start and I put the battery tender on it over night, the next day it started right up,, ran it for awhile and it wouldn't start again after that even after being on the tender.

I have a 2006 450 I just posted about over on electrical with the same thing happening. I just put in a new battery and got the click and then dead display. I don't have extra stuff attached at the battery, though. I know nothing of these machines so where does the starter relay live on a 450?
Follow the positive battery wire to its first connection. That is the relay.I have a 2006 450 I just posted about over on electrical with the same thing happening.

Read your other thread. I posted there too with different information.
Hey...Outlaw23
Thanks for posting the fix to the problem you had..
If you have many accessories connected to the battery consider using something like a "Blue Sea" fuse block. Many members have them installed.
