Possible ignition switch problem?

Alright, guys… Before anyone fusses and says to use the "search", I did. I didn’t find my specific problem so here goes:

Went on a hunting trip and took my 2007 Foreman 500ES and did a fair amount of riding for a few days… No problems, no major water crossings or anything like that. Loaded up onto the trailer and drove home, and there was some rain. God home and went to pull the wheeler off the trailer, and when I turned the key no dash lights or anything. Battery tested full and didn’t see any bad wire connections. fuses next to the battery all good. let things dry out and still no dash lights or anything. Nothing. I’m thinking ignition switch but if anybody has any experience with THIS specific problem then help me out! Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have a garage and its starting to get cold outside and don’t really want to take all the plastics and rack off just yet unless I’m pretty certain that pulling the ignition will do it! Any quick checks anyone can think of? IDK.. I’m at a loss, THANKS!

Backfiring and Acceleration issues

My outlander 850 xt 2016 only has 170 miles on it. But I did a ton of mudding last weekend. I rode today for the first time since. When I press the throttle, not as much acceleration as before. Also it is often backfiring at low speeds. Any advice? Thanks in advance

Shifting problems after installing EPI Mud Clutch.

Installed EPI Mud Clutch Kit in 2015 1000 XT Commander. White spring in primary and provided weights. Red spring in secondary.

Got great pulling/mud bog performance as hoped for with out burning up the belt. However, from the beginning shifting between gears was difficult; had to stop, shut off engine, before shifting between gears.

After a 200 mile moose hunt in Alaskan terrain it will hardly shit at all under any conditions. I had hoped that the new belt, kit would break in and get better shifting. It only got worse. Getting out of reverse is almost impossible. Seems the clutch is not releasing tension on the belt and therefore keeps tension on the transmission not allowing enough slack in the gears so they can release.

Any suggestions on a fix? I am headed to take it all apart again. An option would be to put it back stock, I really do not want to go back to being stuck an toasting belts. I called EPI technical support, the guy had not a clue.
