1995 question

Hello all,

I just bought a 95′ BigBear from a guy who hooked up jumper cables backwards in the atv. He didn’t want to work on it so I got it cheap.

My plan of attack is to order stator, rectifier/regulator and stator. Got it all from ebay for $60. I’m saving the CDI do to its expense and am hoping to get off cheap.

I have a couple questions.

First, can the atv start in gear? I’m trying to see if I need a neutral switch also.

Second, I noticed there were two grounds to the frame under the front plastic. One has a ground wire going into the harness the other is just the leed, wire looks broke off. Does anyone know where this goes and if I need to fix it? Any pics of yours would be great.

Thanks all.
