2005 kawasaki kfx 400 atv wont start need help
I have a 2005 kawasaki kfx 400 atv . A friend was riding it and it died and wont start again so all it will do now is just click but not turn over .

I had one guy look at it and said the transmission is locked up said it will be like $1600.00 to fix Iam not pro at this stuff any thing would help. I also tried to push and pop the clucth but it didnt work

The gear you pulled out is the starter clutch I believe. And it can lock up if one of those gears is sheared or even cracked. I have pulled mine out to inspect it a couple times during oil changes to check for wear because I know they have had problems.
The good news, is that you can go on Ebay and probably find a few z400 starters in real nice condition. Or call East Coast ATV and ask them if they have one. They probably do.
Make sure you replace that o-ring gasket, you don't want to re-use it.

There is none on a z400..... In fact very few if any sport ATVs have a recoil backup anymore...... The last one I remember with a recoil backup was the old Warrior, which Yamaha stopped putting in sometime in the early 1990s.
