Default it won't start?

alright so my 400ex won't start i checked the connections on the battery they are fine. looked at the fuses, they are good. checked the connection at the starter, its fine. The battery is brand new (thought that might be the trouble) it wasn't. i have no idea whats wrong with it. it doesn't turn over at all. when i push start nothing happens. a little help please

-Thanks

I know you said that you checked the fuse but I would change it anyway. You may not be able to tell just by looking. Check every connection. Not trying to be a smart a$$ but, do you have the key on?

Do the headlights work? That will tell you right there if you are getting electricity?

I know you have probably figured this out but, you have a short or bad connection somewhere. My best advise would be to check all your wires and connections until you find it. You're missing something. Might help to have someone else look (sometimes frustration gets the best of us).

Do you have any indication that power is going to the quad?neutral light ? Is the battery hooked up backwards? Clutch pulled in? kill switch?
Do you have a voltmeter?
