New guy intro and issue with 2005 Scrambler 500 HO
I went and found her, started things up, it ran for about 5 minutes and then backfired a bunch and then died. I let it set for a few, started it up again and the same thing happened.
Doing some reading it sounds like it could be a fouled plug or potentially a dirty fuel valve. I went to try what I thought would be the easiest first, the plug…
Where the hell is it? I can’t find anything on the actual location of the plug. I pulled off the right side panel, still don’t see it. Do I need to take off the top plastics as well? I’d love to find a diagram or anything that shows me where it is.
If you have other suggestions as to what to check I am open. It could be bad gas as well possibly, the guy I bought it from said he hadn’t run it in a couple of years.
Thanks for the help!

1999 scrambler 4×4 issue
I pulled the side of the trail and after some time it started working again. I didn’t have anymore problems the rest of the day even in the same mud hole.
I had this happen the last snow we had. Same symptoms. The light went out and came back on after some time had passed.
I’m in the process of going through the wiring and I can’t find anything wrong. Everything I’ve check with the ohm meter has been fine. Only thing that was an issue was the connection to the hubs were pretty gunked up. I can’t repeat the problem in the garage so it’s hard to track it down. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what the culprit could be. I don’t want to have to be pulled out by my friends Yamaha again he already won’t let me live it down :aargh4:
just brought a 2000 500 scrambler 4×4
everything seems to run good and its good fun
any hints or tips I should be looking at or doing or improving
thanks
