I have an 98 Foreman 450 es. I was riding the other day and all of sudden, it just died and wouldn’t start. It would turn over but not start. I noticed the gear pos on the screen was blank and the reverse light on the pod was lit. Checked the spark plug and no spark, so I checked the fuses. The ignition fuse under seat was blown, so I replaced it. The gear postion was normal and reverse light was off, so I figured it was all tied to that one fuse, but when I tried to crank it, it blew the fuse again. I remember that the instant it died when I was riding the reverse light and oil light, lit up together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Check the wiring for any bare or burnt wires, sounds like it is shorting out with it blowing fuses that fast.

 

Yup, start tracing the electrical. There is a short somewhere.

 

I thought hondas never break??? lol i agree with the above posts, it deff sounds electrical.

 

That was reconranger. He's gone now apparently.

 

Check also for loose wiring like in the ignition coil. check also for blow fuses and rely.
