2005 Foreman No spark problem

As I mentioned earlier my bike won’t start – no spark. So I got the Honda manual, the recommended peak voltage adapter on this site, new coil, new spark plug. I used the trouble shooting list on page 19-4. In the section No Peak voltage at coil primary I failed the following:
5. No voltage at the black/white wire of the ECM. (Looking at the harness side of the terminal, the top right hand terminal is Red/white, the next one is the black/white. Is this correct?) Where does this wire originate?

10. Faulty CKP sensor. I measured the peak voltage at the alternator side of connector 5P, between the blue/yellow and white terminals. No Voltage.

The only thing I did not check is the gear position switch wiring. Where is this switch? When I change gears, the display correctly displays the right gear ( N, 1, 2 etc.) Does that mean that the switch is good?
Any suggestions? Any chance that the peak voltage adapter/multimeter combo is incorrect? Any way to test the adapter independent of the bike? Seems like the whole bike is just dead.

Thanks

Phoenix 200 for the other guy

I own a nice Polaris Magnum. I like to go out riding with friends and family but many of them, well none, have atv’s. I didn’t want the newbies or some of my friends riding the magnum, so I decided to get a 2006 Phoenix 200 for them to use.
Here are my reasons for buying a Phoenix, even though it is more geared to youth and they are adults:
1. Simple to operate.. no shifting.
2. Simple design… don’t have to worry about a lot of special components, ie.. front gear box, oil coolers, extra electrical.
3. fast enough to keep up but not too fast they "hopefully" don’t get hurt.
4. cheap enough so I’m not worried about them screwing something up.

Maybe my friends and family will buy their own, but for now I hope I did the right thing.

does this make sense?

Worn Clutch

Last ride I was having trouble staying in gear and the clutch was slipping. I purchased new parts but was wondering if the old clutch plates look bad? The friction plates still have material on them but the metal disks look like they got very hot and discolored. Do these look normal?

2014 850 XP drive vibration

In March i broke the stock belt on my sportsman 850. I replaced with a gates belt. After about 400 miles i started to get a chattering noise from the belt area. I replaced with a polaris belt. No changed. still clunks. It would happens when there is a load like join up hill. Doesnt matter if its in 2wd, 4wd, high or low range. Taking back to the dealer ( extender warranty). Just wondering if anyone has some input.

Thanks

03′ 350 TRX Carb Issue?

Hello all! I have been coming here for years and have found a lot of great information and for that I would like to say Thank You! I have an 03 350 TRX 4×4 atv I bought about a year ago. When I bought it it had a decent amount of white smoke when riding (decent enough to where I knew it would need the top end rebuilt at some point). I recently opened it up and had the cylinder head bored and honed and new piston with new rings, valve seals, etc. I also, while I had it apart, rebuilt the carb and replaced all vacuum and fuel lines. I put everything back together (I followed specs in the owners manual on pretty much everything). On the stock setting for the pilot jet, the quad started and ran great. No smoke, no sputtering, didn’t seem too rich. It was actually running about perfect. I knew that to set the pilot jet it needed to get to temp, so I let it warm up. While setting the jet, the engine would be at a decent idle and then it would click (sounds kind of like a shift of gears), and stall. When it would stall it sounded like something was still spinning in the engine and winding down. I can adjust the idle screw to a higher rpm to temp avoid the stall, but am concerned about it. Also, when the engine is at max rpm, it almost sounds like it is missing a bit (like a hollow sound). It doesn’t sound in sync to me. I am suspecting my pilot jet might be the issue, but wanted to reach out to you all before I pulled anything else apart. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
