Have a 99' sportsman 335,won't shut off. Tested the switches(handle bar and key)both working fine.
Tryed grounding out the kill wire on the CDI box(black wire) and it still runs.
Am I right to say the CDI box is bad? I hate to buy one(220.00)if it is not it.Is this a common problem?
Thanks for any help,
Bart

Pulled the white wire off the coil. What?,am I the only one this ever happen too?

 

i have been a forum member for 4 years and read the forum posts daily and i have never read of anyone having this problem. hope you find a fix.

CATMAN LMAO man!! i agree!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

This happens on alot of the new machines, its usually the starter. My 2005 700 EFI had the same problem, I had to tap on the starter....then it would shut off. You can do a search and see this on the forum. I doubt it is your problem though. Don't know how it keeps running because of the starter, but it does...

 

Elk, i don't think his starter keeps cranking, i think he can't shut-off the machine. i could be wrong but that's my interpretation.

oh well.

 

My 00' 335 sportsman won't shut off with the key. I need to use the red switch to get it off. My "friend" took it out for a ride a month after I bought it and rolled it over. broke the rear rack, pod, bent handle bars and it hasn't shut off properly since. I never bothered to lok into it because it does shut off with the red switch.
Okay, so I am not a help, but letting you know you aren't the only one.

 

You are correct,can't shut-it off. Ordered a new CDI today,let you know what happens.
