Wolverine wont start while in gear anymore only in neutral !!! (Yes, Im holding the brake down) its stoped working today after playing in some deep water. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

 

well although i believe that if you have something it should run perfect but i also think that there is some degree of laziness about complaining that you cant start in gear just my opinion

 

make sure you are pressing the rear hand brake, and turn on the key, i dont think there is much electronically that can go wrong

 

Yes, I did that. It was working all day and then nothing. Im sure i damage swich on my ride today, but where is that swich?

 

Well, because it a pain in the a@@, finding neutral all the time everyting you want to start your machine. It does sound like a big deal, but I have gotten very use to starting in gear

 

I dont have a service manual, and dont have specific info, but what id do...follow the brake lever, and cable back, until you find an electrical switch. It may be combined in the brake switch. Do the brake lights work? Once you find the switch,disconnect the wire connector, and ohm it out, ...in one position, itll be open, and in the other position ittl be a short. If the switch checks out, then its probably a cable adjustment.
Check the connector, on that switch for water, or being partially connected. Put some dielectic grease on the connector contacts, when you put it back together.
And Im like you...if something is supposed to work, then I want it to work .

 

go here look at part # 3 and follow it to the pic of the atv http://parts.yamaha-motor.com/ <---highlight let me know if this helps

 

I was thinking it would be #33, the brake switch. It probably hangs low enough to collect water and crud. And is accuated by the brake pedal and hand lever.
2FAST4URASS, Thanks for the link to a picture of the electrical system.

anyway, let us know what you find.
