Default Help won't start!

I have a 2000 440ex Honda quad. I was riding out in the dones all morning then went to turn it off to talk to a friend then it wouldn't start back up. Normally the key is turned on when in neutral the light will come on, but now it doesn't. I have a good battery. I have no idea what is wrong, please HELP!

There is a fuse by the battery, take a look and hope that is it. It should have a spare fuse right there.

Check for a blown fuse first thing!! The starter and lights, including the neutral light are on that circuit. There is a spare fuse in the fuse holder. The EX is prone to pinched wires in the lighting, that will blow a fuse.

One thing people don't realize, is that the bike will PUSH START EVEN WITH THE FUSE BLOWN!! So, just pop the clutch and ride home!

I had the same problem with mine. I thought it was the battery but it wasnt. It could be the fuse or it could be the cillinoid.

Will it start and run if you push/pull start it?
