I have a friend with a Kodiak 400 that will not start. It thinks it is in gear but it is in Neutral. Where does it sense the gear position from? Has anybody else had this problem? Thanks for any help?

 

What year is the kodi?
If its fairly new, it should start in gear, if you hold the back brake ,hand lever in.

 

Can you start it with the pull cord?

 

Yes it will start with the pull cord. I will check with my friend to find out what year it is. Thanks for any help.

 

iv hade this problem with my 1994 kodiak on mine the battery is under the seat right on the side of the battery(the side towards the front of the quad) the ciliniod or whatever it is died on me. because of this it would only start with the pull start and the neutral light wouldnt work. when i replaced mine it is very easy to replace every thing worked again.

when my ciliniod died the light also blew out i dont know y that happened but id prolly check if i were u

 

Thanks for a place to start looking. I found out this is a 2001 Kodiak 400 4x4. It has the same problems you described. It probably has the same problem. Thanks Again! I'll let you know how it turns out.
