I have a 1995 Yamaha Kodiak 400. The reverse light stays on all the time. I have no problems with neutral light or any thing else. No problem starting etc. It’s just annoying with the light always on. I can’t find out where the light gets the signal from. Anyone have any idea? Found the neutral switch that has one wire going to it but it doesn’t affect the reverse light.

Greetings everybody. First post so go easy on me. I will say I have done some reading and thought I had figured out my problem but alas, I am just wasting my money.

2001, 600. I’m cruising around one day, luckily close to home, and the machine kinda sputters and dies. I get it home, fart around with it a couple days, do the ol’ wire wiggle and she fires right up. Now someone had done some previous repairs (more on that later) where wires had been twisted together and taped. No solder or shrink wrap or even a butt connector.

A couple months down the road, no issues until my brother in law had been cruising it around, on and off for a couple hours. He brings it back acting kinda weird. I jump on it and it seems to run fine until I gun it. It starts backfiring, stalling, lack of power, etc. If I’m easy on it though it runs fine.

Well now my wife wants to take a cruise. It fires up fine but as soon as she give it any throttle at all, it tries to die. Eventually it quit running and won’t start at all. Now it won’t crank and I find my starter relay is bad.

After some interwebs research, I find where the wiring harness on the right hand side by the exhaust has been slightly melted. I read that it can kill the starter relay, pickup coil and ignition (?) coil. So I replace them all. The previous shoddy repair turns out to be for the same thing. I checked the harness, repaired it a little and put some heat tape on it.

So at this point I’ve replace the stator/pickup coil, the ignition coil, and the starter relay. Still no spark, tested by pulling the wire off the plug and either looking or feeling for a pulse.

I will say, I got the cheap eBay stator/pickup coil and had to cut and solder the harness. I wasn’t too sure on which wires to connect. There were three white wires on the stator and I had no idea which went where so I winged (?) it. The others I’m fairly certain were right. Green to green, white to white, red with blue stripe to red, and brown to reddish brown.

What next?? Get a manual? 😀

Can I put 26x9x14 on the front of my 2012 Sportsman 850 Touring with no problems?

Hello,
I recently purchased a 2008 SP 500 HO EFI with 2400 miles. Low hours so it was mostly long trail rides. Runs great. The only problem is when I had it out on the trail for the first time it acted funny.
We had been riding for about 1hr when I stopped to let the group of riders catch up is stalled while idling. I went to restart and it just kept turning. I shut the key off and tried again. This time nothing. No turn over. The display didn’t light up. I thought I was screwed. So I checked and I had it in park along with holding the break.
I turned the key off and tried again an viola it started. Drove for another 1/2 and stopped for lunch(45mins) and again turns over no start. Try again and blank display. try again and it started?
Any clues to what this might be?
TIA
KM

Hello everyone. Name’s Randy Lackey. I’m almost 40 and a longtime Honda owner except for the two years I owned a RZR. Live in the heart of the Hatfield/McCoys.

My first ATV was a 2000 Foreman and I kept it until I bought the RZR. Sold the RZR and worked on restoring my Dad’s ’01 Rancher but decided to take the plunge again and bought a new ’16 Foreman with Power Steering. Have to say, ATVs have come a long way.

I picked up a full set of Real Tree Hardwood Camo plastic for an 07′ Grizzly 350.

Can anyone tell me if they will fit the 07′ 450?

I have an interested buyer.

Thank you!

Hi guys,

I have a Denali 60" Plow from moto alliance. 2 years old this year. Problem I keep having is the bracket underneath bike, continues to come loose. The U bolts snap off, and the bolts then work loose. I reattached it multiple times. Nothing worse than trying to get under a bike in the middle of a snow storm to fix this.

Has anyone had issues with these under mount brackets. Any Idea’s to fix. I thought of welding it on to frame, but not sure that this is best idea as there should probabally be some amount of give so I don’t damage frame

what do you guys think?

Need both rear (right and left side) splash guards. Does anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy these splash guards PN:80220-HM5-850ZA and 80221-HM5-850ZA. The plastic parts cost more than most other parts.
Thanks!

Hello, My 4WD Rancher has intermittent problems with acceleration in auto. Although the engine sounds like it is revving there is no increase in speed. But then I release the throttle and rev again and it seems fine. Other threads I have found here that are similar talk about carburetor/filter and rough idle issues but since mine is not running rough and the engine revving seems to me to imply that it is getting gas, is there potentially something wrong with trans? I havent tried manual shifting quite frankly cuz the ATV and this problem are fairly new for me and I just havent tried it yet. So bottom line is that when I hit throttle it sounds like it should be accelerating but its not. I am hoping its the carb but dont want to go down the path of working on it only to find out it isnt the problem.

Thanks
