Okay so lately I took my entire bike part down to the frame (I bought a new frame) and I was putting it back together yesterday and I got in motor, rear end, carb, and hooked up wiring harness. I turned the ignition key and pull started the bike (no battery in it). It fired right up and ran perfectly. so I cut it off and continued to assemble it. After that I installed rear brake lights, cooling fan, and battery. When I turned the key after installing those parts, the bike acted as if there was a faulty ignition switch. I tested battery and ignition switch and both were fine. Then I continued to test the wires at the solenoid to make sure they weren’t broken. They were good. Checked every fuse, all looked brand new. Triple checked making sure every ground connection on the frame was clean and making a good strong connection. all were good. Every plug on the wiring harness is plugged in exactly as it should be. The bike started perfectly before I put fan, battery, and lights on. Then two hours later it’s acting like the key isn’t even being turned. I also made sure it was in neutral before I tried to pull start it. it’s not getting spark through the plug.
New here, I have two quads an MZ 100 and a Honda trx250x that we originally purchased for our grandkids to ride around our place when they visit. As things go, they seem to be an addiction and I’ve been getting them both in shape and riding them more and more. My biggest problem is that most of my background has been with diesel power. I work on my own motorcycles and chainsaws but not comfortably. Therefore expect many dumb questions especially fuel and ignition system related. Thanks for having me!
I’ve been looking into many aftermarket sites for parts. Can anyone recommend where i should be looking. Im intrested in everything from gaskets to clutches.

What possible damage can be done by holding the front brake down and just pinning the throttle on my outlander max xt 1000 basically making the front end act like a ski and have the rear tires pushing the whole machine. This is what was happening to my machine while my brother was riding it. I came outside from taking a nap and caught him doing this. Then my wife tells me that was not the worst of it. I said what do you mean. She said he was doing it over and over and over for like an hour.
And I mean full throttle, just throwing and turning the machine everywhere while holding down the front brake.
I was wondering what could possibly be damaged as I baby the crap out of my machine. It’s basically new but now I’m looking at it possibly being totaled out due to my brother in law flipping it ovet. And then I find out my brother did this

I ordered another Rincon power steering kit for my other bike. on my last ride
we were trying out each others machines and made me realize that I don,t
want to ride without power steering. one of my buddies went and traded his
bike for one with power steering. I found a dealer north of the 49th
parallel that had better price than super ATV and free shipping, fed ex ground.
one step up from dog sled. LOL
