i just bought a 2002 Big Bear 400 4x4 and i put a need battery on it and it still wont start....i tried jumping the solenoid and sounded like it was attempting to start

i think its stuck in gear or something IDK. the neutral light works only when i mess with the shifter.

so I need some advice bad.

thanks

 

does it push easy when the green neutral light is on? it should roll with ease. if it moves and has a little resistance, make sure the brakes are not sticking. what sound does the starter make? i had to replace my starter when i bought my 99 yam big bear. it sounded like the flywheel was grinding off when it was started. have you tried to pull start the quad? i believe all big bears have a backup recoil pull start.

if you need a starter, dont get one from yamaha, they are over 150 bucks. i bought mine off the internet from a guy in northern TN. he beat yamaha by half the price. my new starter for my quad was 79 bucks + shipping. i changed it in 15 minutes. his website is below.

hell here is the direct link to the starter for your quad. note the years it fits below the pic. 75 bucks plus shipping.
