I turn the key on and the dash lights up, the head lights work... I push the button to start and nothing happens, no click/crank, no noise at all. It will pull start, I can jump start it from the battery to the starter, and I replaced the starter relay. IWhat could it be??? 

Oh , and it is in Park,and I tried the kill switch several times in both positions, that does make a faint click, and sounds like it’s working

If you can jump the starter then the starter is working. Cranking from the push button is not, so it could be the neutral safety switch or the ignition switch possibly, assuming your relay is good. Does the push button work if you hold down the hand brake? Have you tried starting in neutral?

I tried to starting in neutral while holding the brakes, and I replaced my starter relay. Still nothing, no clicking/clanking/turning. What could it be?

* Cleaned up topic title and added full ATV info.

No it doesn’t start in gear, neutral, park with or with out hand brake

What throws it off here is that you jumped the starter and it engages and you replaced the relay/solenoid. Did you jump it at the relay/solenoid you replaced or down at the starter? Was it under the seat? Fuses all good?

I'm also assuming your battery is fully charged and you have good connections everywhere with your wiring, grounds, etc.

I jumped it from the starter. Yes the relay was under the seat, fuses are good.battery charged, and everything seems to work as it should except the start button when pushed. Nothing happens, and everything looks solid and good ground

It might be the switch or an issue with the wiring. Do you have a manual with a wiring diagram? Here's one for a 2005, should be similar. There is a diagram. I believe its the push button switch to the ignition fuse, then to the relay and then to the starter. 

 

Look at the diagram in the electrical section

 I went out it took apart the pushbutton housing, While I had it off the bar I pushed the button to see if there was something shorting out or some wires unconnected, as I pushed it, it fired up. Put it back together seems to be working like it’s supposed to. do you think I should replace the switch ?

Glad you found it! That's up to you, I would probably replace it but first take a look at a parts schematic somewhere like https://www.yamahapartshouse.com

Hey guys I have a 2005 kodiak 450. It was running and working fine when suddenly one day the starter button wasn't working it pull started fine for a couple days. Until I had time to look into it I took the switch apart didn't find anything crazy. So I put a bump starter across the solenoid and it cranks great. But never would fire. Pulled the plug and I have no spark. I'm wondering if the cdi box could be causing this issue thanks

      Bought 4 wheeler for kids. Used to run and soon as it was put in gear it died. I have put new carburater, new plug and battery. The neutral light won't come on. I replaced the solenoid, then the positive battery cable and today put new relay assembly on. Still no neutral light. Not getting any juice and I don't know why.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      1986 TRX 250 Starter Bypass Gear Problems
      By Gwbarm
      I finally got around to working on the TRX, this has been an ongoing problem with this machine. This is a machine that we keep on my Fathers property, i dont see it that often, my brother haad it professionally repaired last year and year before same problem, the new starter gears and bypass gears last about a year and the machine is not used that often, he said he was done with it , so i thought i should go take a look. Sure enough the gears were all malled again. 
       

       

      IMG_4910.mov   There is some slack in there but most is taken up by the gear cover,if anyone with history with these machines has had the same problem, let me know your findings. Where i am now im looking for finding replacement honda gears on Ebay and try those. I suspect the original was replaced with aftermarket gears years ago and they just worse quality as the years go by.

      By Mmessy83
      I recently purchased a complete lt230s for$50. It was missing the kick starter gears which I got off eBay for $18. I’m trying to install the gears which after reading different threads about having it timed. I have it all timed but now it acts like engine is seized up but I know it’s not. What could be going on??? Any insight would greatly be appreciated.
