I have an 06 ES 350 that is giving me some electrical problems. Need some help diagnosing it.
Here’s the problem: Key in start position, dash lights up, neutral light illuminates. Press start switch, nothing. No attempt to start. No clicking. Nothing. Headlight/Dimmer switch gives me nothing. No brake lights with hand brakes but they DO work with the foot brake.
It will pull start easily. Runs fine. But still no headlights.
Pulled the battery, trickle charged overnight. Still nothing. Checked fuse box, they all check out.
First time so hope I get things right. I have a 1987 Big Bear 350 4×4. It’s tan colored and the hi/lo/reverse shifter is on the left front fender. The throttle cable splits into two cables before the carb. Then it enters the carb at the top plate where it hooks to a flat slide and also into the side where it hooks to a butterfly. The carb is a Mikuni and the plastic plate on the side has "BTM" on it. It seems there is both a flat slide and a brass butterfly on this carb. My question is, What exactly do I have? It is very hard to keep running at starting but runs OK when it is warmed up. Do I need to reset the needle valve richer? It is set on the middle notch now. At first starting, I have to have fully choked and it will die until I restart fully choked about 5-6 times. Then it has to run fully choked for 3-4 minutes before I can take the choke off and use the 4-wheeler. If it is warmed up, it will start, but if it sits ten minutes or so its the same story. Colder weather makes the problem worse. Thank you in advance for any advise.
I recently bought a 88-89 300 , it wouldn’t start unless you crossed it across the solenoid, I bought a new one and installed it.
After I put new solenoid in I went to hook up the battery and as soon as I try to hook up battery it turns over.
Even with key "off". Wont start with key off but turns over , starts right up with key on.
Anyone got any ideas , does it matter which wire goes where on solenoid?
Also trying to find serial #?
Paper tag on front A-frame/fork worn plus has paint on it?
Is there somewhere serial is stamped in?
Riding this past weekend and the last couple miles the grizzly 660 started misfiring. Also noticed the reverse light lighting up same time. Never quit but just slowed down. After poking around on this forum looking up the symptoms I was experiencing it dawned on me it did sound like it was hitting a rev limiter. So I found out how to do the reverse rev limiter mod and made the wiring change. I will test it out soon as I can to confirm the fix and report back here.
Good evening .. thanks for letting me join your group 🙂 .. I’ve got an 02 660 that’s been in storage most of its life and over the past year I have been getting lots of use out of it .. recently I had some issues keeping the bike running, it would go for 500 yards or so and it would die out and you’d have to leave the choke all the way on to keep it idling and it would get so far and then die again .. we thought it may have been the carb or spark plug .. so the carb was cleaned out and put in a new plug and fuel filter .. also oil and filter were always changed and I keep burning supreme gas in it .. this bike only has 1100 kms on it .. it ran fine all day but just started acting up again this evening .. any advice or info would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Just bought a 2005 660 grizzly 4×4. I have been experiencing the body shake only when I’m going about 1-4 mph. Anything higher than that and it is fine. The carburetor was replaced in it…the idle is a little off as well. Just was wondering if anyone has ever ran into this before. It has 2400 miles and 614 hrs on it. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
I am getting the 5 flash error code on display on my 2006 Rubicon. Took the panels off and checked to see if plug was dirty on angle sensor and looked good has only 500 miles on it. Added some dielectric grease and tried to reset code with charged battery still no luck.
So I ordered a new angle sensor and was wondering if I HAVE to take exhaust pipe off to install new one?
I plow for a lot of elderly neighbors and need to get it fixed with more snow on way.
The thing worked great Sunday morning then 5 hours later it was flashing. Shifts fine but sputters in reverse like everyone.
I have recently caught the Elka bug based off of all of your positive feedback on the ride improvements. I live in Florida but numerous times per year we load up and head to the cabin in NC to ride the old mining switchbacks. These trails are very rocky and rough as they are no longer maintained or ever ridden. We have to cut down trees that have fallen across the trails almost every trip. My 2014 grizzly 550 eps loves it up there and seems to excel over the hondas I ride with. They are Yamaha shopping as I type this haha..
However the ride is rough! I have deleted the sway bar which has helped but are looking for a plusher ride as I have a herniated disk in my back.
We all know how much of an investment these are. The only way I see myself being able to get these is with my AZ store card with 12 month financing.
Was the 550 chassis not updated along with the 700 in 2014? Everything I see says 07-2014 for the 550 and 07-13, 14-15 for the 700. The listing on the site says they are for 2007 -2014 550. They also say for a grizzly ‘500’ which is wrong so it has me worried. It does say the manufacturer part # is ELKA-11132 which matches elka site.
