I was riding my 03 Kawasaki prairie 650 4x4 today in light mud when it lost power, backfired, and died. I turned the ignition off and sat for a minute. When I turned the ignition on the display did not come on but the neutral light flickers rapidly and a noise can be heard in the solenoid. Pushing the start button results in nothing happening. Tried a few times, occasionally the belt light will flicker or the display will flash monentarily in addition to the neutral light but still no response when start button is pushed. Any help is appreciated

 

Sounds like clean up time,plus check all connections from the battery on up. Blow out any connections and use some electrical grease.This may hopefully get you back going if you haven't shorted something out.

 

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check everything over tonight and see if I can make some progress.
