Hard Starting… Not Battery, Not Regulator/Rectifier… Thoughts?
The starter was replaced a bit ago (before my time here). Battery is three weeks old and tests well. Just replaced the regulator/rectifier (had similar issues with a ’98 CBR years ago and the R/R fix did it), but still having issues.
Prime the carb -> key on -> lights (Neutral, Oil Temp) on -> push the starter —> annnnd then it gets weird.
Sometimes it feels like a dead battery with that electrical click and no turn over. Sometimes it turns over slowly with much trouble and then stops. Other times it kicks right in and turns over and over, but the engine won’t fire. Then sometimes it just works. There’s no rhyme nor reason that I can figure out (i.e. time of day, weather, moisture, heat, etc…).
My thoughts are loose connections, bad starter, something deeper in the engine making it hard to turn over.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Gear selector issue
Now if I move the selector between N and R the read out on the cluster will go to neutral and I can then at that point put the lever back into the neutral slot and the 4 wheeler is now in neutral.
If I try to put in in neutral from reverse or park it will engage neutral like normal. So my issue is happening when I’m going from a forward drive gear to neutral. Does anybody know what could be going wrong and how to fix it. Thank you. Hopefully you all can make out the pictures

Frustrated by local trail
And then in the winter time they close the trails. I prefer to ride more in the fall and winter than I do in the summer. At my house in my own woods it’s just easier to get around than in the summer when everything is grown up and there’s a spider web every 2 feet to run through.
This is a camp ground also, and the guy started making the trails a few years ago. It seems that he is just a bit too particular about them. He also posts that he doesn’t want any one riding with mud tires or aggressive tires. I don’t have to worry about that since I have my stock Carlisles, but I know most people like to change the tires out first thing to some big mud tires.
