Luckily is under warranty, but had been riding it for a while, was going to load it up, but it wouldn't start. Video shows better than I could explain it. Any ideas? After a few more attempts it finally did start
'didn't start' can be many things. Would it not crank? Did it crank but not fire? Was the cranking sluggish, like a weak battery? I'm not an experienced mechanic but anyone needs more info to even guess.

Check for spark by pulling a spark plug wire and holding it slightly away from the engine while someone cranks it. You should get a spark. Be sure to hold the wire with something insulated or you'll fry yourself. WARNING: do not pull the plug out of the hole. Just pull the wire off. The piston will spray gas out the hole as it rises and the spark could light it.

Another thing to look at is wiring. See if all the grounds are clean and secure, and make sure there's no crud or water in any of the wiring connectors elsewhere. On thing I've always done is to put a dab of dielectric grease in every connector I could get to on my machines just because of the conditions these things get used in. I suspect if the wiring is all ok, you may have a problem with the ignition system or the fuel pump.
Seems to be fuel related. Was way up on a mountain and it wouldn't start, several times, a few minutes apart. Even though it is fuel injected I tried again, giving it some gas, and it finally came to life. Did that a couple times on the mountain - had to give it gas when it was warm.
Have you been running ethanol in it? That causes all kinds of fuel problems even though they say it's made for it. Have you replaced the fuel filter? Maybe the fuel pump?

I haven't replaced anything, doesn't even have 100 miles on it yet. Also haven't found any public non-ethanol pumps in CO Springs yet
At the time of the video only had 82 miles, total. Have an appointment for service, just another 9 days out. It only does this when it is hot. When cold has a slight hesitation, then starts.

Here's one: PHILLIPS 66 91 Chief Petroleum 719-473-7760 301 S 10th St I found it here: PURE-GAS.ORG (be sure to add that hyphen or you'll get an unrelated ad)
I didn't realize its that new. Let the dealer handle it for sure. And get out of the ethanol habit on all small engines. It keeps mechanics in business.

Same reason I got rid of my King Quad. I bought it because it was fuel injected, and had a diff loc because I planned to use it for ice fishing.
If the battery wasn't at least 99% charged, it wouldn't start. Pull start or ignition switch. Then, in the cold, it would start, and run but I couldn't use the throttle or it would die. It was all electrical related. I sold it to my step-dad and he wrecked it on his first outing with it.
My 500 was flawless, I just wanted power steering. Even after it sat the entire time I was deployed to Afghanistan, came home and it fired right up. We'll see what the dealership says about this one.
I've been wanting a Yamaha Grizzly pretty bad the last few years. I'm probably going to get a new wheeler by fall, but even the Yamaha's are having issues. And they're usually bullet proof!
