hey guys, i have a yamaha quad, its not a grizzly (although i have one of those as well) but i have a quick question. its a 1987 Moto-4 350…i had the motor removed to replace the cylinder head. it was out of the frame for 2 years and i finally got around to putting in back together…but now when i start the bike the neutral light comes on (in neutral like it should) but if i idle it up, or push the throttle, the reverse light will come on. its not really a big deal, the bike works fine. just wondering what i did wrong when i put it back together?…theres a battery on the bike but its dead…would a dead or weak battery cause this? any help is appreciated thanks!

Hello, just bought a used 450 Kodiak, the seller advertised it as a 2006, but when I got home I found the owner’s manual under the seat with a "sold in 2003" sticker on it. The previous owner sent me an electronic repair manual that he had bought for it, says YFM450FAR on it, from what I can find on the web the "R" corresponds to 2003. I checked the serial no., and if I’m reading it correctly, indicates a 2006 model (10th digit is a 6). Owners manual shows where to check on the wheeler for a model no. sticker, found the attached sticker but I don’t know what to make of it. So, do I have a 2003 or 2006 or something else?
I was frustrated that for safety factor, there was no rear light on the DS70… SO, I decided to make my own. I was concerned with the power output of the elec system, but by converting the daytime running lights to LED, I freed up 5 watts, which I could use for the tail light.
It’s a simple 6 dollar low profile LED "truck lite" market light. Just use some angle aluminum and rubber coated hose clamps…. Run a ground back to your relay, and splice a hot wire by your headlight harness.
Well, batteries & bulbs did not have the bulb, nor did any auto parts store… the can am dealer wanted $17.99 for each bulb…. I thought that was BS…. SOOOO I created my own LED solution to increase the brightness and safety factor to ensure the DS70 light is seen from far away, even in peak daylight.
Step one… Remove bulb, break the outer glass… remove all glass, be sure to NOT damage or break off the two filament holder wires. Take the base off the LED light, and cut the flat piece off, and slide the base cap "bottom" back on. This helps hold the circuit board in place better. Solder the two leads from the LED Light to the two Filament holder wires. I recommend bending the filament wires down so the light doesn’t stick out so far, or make the light too long. You still want to use some of the reflector in the light housing.
Make sure everything is in place and put the bulb back in.. It’s as simple as that. It makes a HUGE difference. Each of these LED super bright bulbs uses 2.5 watts, where the incandescent used 5 watts each. This allows extra wattage to power the soon to be added tail light. You can definitely see the difference.
my 01 600 was running fine and now wont start. not getting spark. plug wire and coil seem fine i tried them on my dad’s 99 600. what do i check next. seems to be several things that it could be. any suggestions on what to check first
I’ve noticed on my 2016 Grizzly when going from park to high or from high to park the transmission is very sticky.Even from neutral to park or to high. Meaning hard to get in and out of gear. Anyone else with this? Any adjustment, I have a four year warranty but not sure I want to hear "that’s normal"
I am sneaking up on twenty hours.
my 01 600 was running fine then one morning it would not start. After several attempts it fired ran fine until tuned off and back to not starting. the coil and plug wire seem fine. what now ?
