Thats whats on the big bear i showed you.  
Worst case if you don't like the satin you can hit it with a can of gloss as a third coat.   

Oh, i was confuse. The pic you sent said gloss on it.

@Gina Owings welcome to Quadcrazy. 
Sounds like a nice deal for $200 bucks. 
 

Im sure we can help you out with this.  There are a few artic cat people here that know there stuff.  
But first off go to the home page and start a new topic on this so its easy to track.  

Post a few pics and whats going on and we will see what we can make of it!

So, I hit the bezel with clear after I outlined the lettering with a silver sharpie. It turned out ok. I thought a d thought about it and decided to paint the plastics because they are so faded that I thought the clear wouldn't do the trick. I'll post more when I'm done.

This was the paint job i did in my first bear tracker.  My plastics were way beyond repair with cracks etc.  Its when i first got back into the whole atv thing.  
I was really in need of a hunting atv as well so i went with a  camo pattern.  I also took it upon myself to buy fabric and learn to cover my seats. 
 

I always find myself looking back at my old photos on some of my projects i did. Some were cool, some were so so but i was not good at refinishing the plastics until later.   
As soon as this Suzuki of mine is done i will get back into my side project on a really beat up and old piece of plastic that i picked up from an old bayou. Its just a test piece and im hell bent on bringing back the shine.  Im close to a process that will require no paint or clear coat.

That's a cool paint job. Cant wait to hear about this new process when it's done.

Do you know were i can find the vin # on this bear tracker. I want to verify the year. Thanks.

So I installed new relay and new solenoid and now starter is cranking again. Damn it! 

I didn't have time to trouble shoot tonight but maybe tomorrow night.

Gonna have to go back and look thru the posts again.

Relay does not click and I even put the old one back in and nothing. All lights work though.

Honestly as i said before i ordered a $9 piece of fabric on amazon and made my own cover.   Sprayed it with three coats of spray scotch guard and i was good to go.  
All you need is a T-50 staple gun with half inch pointed staples. 
If you don't want to order then use a black sheet.

      First thanks for any help guys, new to the forums and it's gotten me this far. I bought a 2001 bear tracker 250 for my family to get around the dirt bikes races. It wasn't running right and had a high idle. Previous owner thought it was a carb problem, so he ordered a new Zoom carb and new intake boot, but it still had the same high idle. ( I believe he had the throttle cable adjusted wrong, because it idled fine when I put it back together) So I tore down and cleaned the stock carb, and it started up and idled fine, but needed to have the choke 1/2 out to run.  I swapped to the new zoom carb and had the same issue. Choke half out bike ran ok. I played with the needle and the pilot screw with no change. ( bike did seem to be running rich though, but didn't get better when I tightened pilot screw or raised meddle) I Took it to the races and once I started bouncing around in the cattle fields the quad started cutting out real bad. It would barely run.  Sometimes it would run with choke off, sometimes choke 1/2, sometime choke full. I cleaned carb again, checked float level, and boots, no change still wouldn't run. Then suddenly it started running ok again.  This makes me believe it's an electrical issue rather then carb. I know there's no air leak, it's been checked, both carbs are clean( I've swapped them out a couple times, it starts up immediately and usually idles fine. But then bogs down/ or stutters under throttle. I saw the post on the guy who disconnected his rectifier and reconnected and suddenly it started working again, which lead me to believe it may be electrical and not carb.  So any advice on what I should check? Any way to test the CDI or rectifier?  Once again, I appreciate your help.

      Hi my name is Greg and I just acquired a free 2000 yamaha kodiac 400 4x4 with the ultramatic transmission that does not run. I plan to get it going and use it around my property

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      What should I do about this , bad oil leak where the filter cover bolts on . Can I use some gasket maker 

    • By fwsamm
      Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?
