Brakes and electrical
I have my buddies warrior that has been sitting for years. Got a new battery and he lost the key so I got a new key switch. I have no lights no neutral light it won't even try to start. Any ideas?
Also the front and back brakes are not bleeding I have new pads for it but I try and bleed them and no luck no brakes. What should I do besides blow it up?
Thanks for any help. I have a yfz and I'm not familiar with this quad

Firstly check that both the new battery and ignition switch have been wired up correctly. It is easy to fit the battery the wrong way round on some bikes. If you are sure everything is right, check the main fuse, on top of the solenoid on most Yams.
Quads are bad to bleed, with the front brakes I clamp vice grips on the flexible pipe below the handlebars, not too tight and this is not recommended by makers as you can damage the pipe, but it works. Open the bleed valve, with the grips off, press the lever down, fit the grips and let the lever return, take the grips off again and repeat until the brakes are bled. You should find somewhere on the rears to do the same.
