Mate, it's going to be easier if you tell us what you have checked first.
Checking your battery should be your first port of call.
Certain '04 YFZ450 productions were notorious for chewing thru batteries.
Many owners went to a CBR600 battery in early model YFZ's and rode with lights ON.
Here's a good write up explaining the battery issue with the YFZ450.
http://www.bluetraxx.com/forums/yamaha-yfz450-450r-2004-present/48103-yfz450-yamaha-tech-updates.html
Now, go check your battery and get back to us

If it was me I'd be doing this.

I also put my quads on a maintanance battery charger/tender when not in use. I use an Optimate III, but Projecta sell a good one as well.

The Projecta AC150 is often on special at Repco.

Google is your friend.

Why would you want to do it anyway? Buy a new battery and you'll be all set. Cheaper & easier.
