I have an 02 500ho here are my two problems

1. Crepes forward in first at idle, Even if trying to start in gear it will want to roll as starter turns motor over


2. When idling sometimes lights flash off and on about the speed of a turn signal, revving motor does not change it.

thanks TonyT

 

1. Check your rpms. Should be around 1100 rpm. giver take. Also check your belt alignment.
2. Check your voltage output. Could be a bad battery, rectifier, or stator issue or possibly even a grounding issue.

 

sounds like the ebs bushing or washers could be worn out out. check voltage output and make sure connections on the lights. may be even the rectifier connections. you may have got mud/water into the stator area.

 

Fiber/Crush washers on your primary have seen better days for the creeping issue, and Stendori has you in the right direction on the lights, sounds like a bad ground

 

Thanks Guys, appreciate the help. Tony

 

did they have EBS in 2002?
.....Caper.........

 

Yes they have EBS,

 

I have a similar problem, shut 4 wheeler of to walk down into woods when i tried to start it it lunges forward and dies. If i use the gass at the same time putting it in gear it will go. In reverse it lunges worse and dies couldnt hardly get it off trailer. Is this what yours did did you figure out the problem. I ahve a new belt coming but it loks all right. are the fingers in the clutch suppose to be loose and move side toside. thanks for any info dont know much about these.

 

What type of ATV are you referring to? Sounds like you either have face plate bushing or clutch spring binding issue

 

you might check your circuit breakers. the faulty one ,you should hear clicking or will feel very warm
