Ok, here goes. cant seem to figure it out: If my quad is sitting there, I turn the key but the light doesn't come on. I know the first thing that comes to mind is a battery or alternator problem, but my electric start is working perfectly, I recently replaced the battery. Also if the quad is in neutral, and the key is on, the electric start won't work, but if I pull in the clutch it starts right up. Also I know the first thing that comes to mind with that one is that it's in gear, but when I let the clutch out it continues to idle, showing me that it is in fact in neutral. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

Check your neutral ground under ur shifter for a bad connection,do u have a aftermarket clutch?.....also might be your clutch switch on ur clutch perch

 

ok ill try that thanks

 

do you have, or know where I can get a diagram of this, or could you simply explain it to me, because I dont understand "under the shifter" or "the switch on the clutch perch". what do these two look like? thanks, burke

 

Mine does the same thing off and on. There is a neutral switch to the left of the shifter mount below the gear (according to the book), chances are it's bad. I just pull the clutch in to start if the switch doesn't work. But if you really want I can send you the page that explains how to test/change it and shows a pic.

 

could you send me an image of that please?
