Hi guys. 1st post. was hoping for some insight. battery is showing 13+ volts. took a small ride a week ago. No issues. went to go start today and nothing at all. Not even on instrument panel. Pull started it and it started with instrument panel flickering the whole time. initially thought battery for whatever reason was dead. Checked it and 13+ volts. Thought maybe if I ran it for awhile it would go back to normal. Keyword "hope". Anyway, not sure whats up. Can do simple mechanics. Is therte any fuses that could be an issue. Also, I had previously,last yr, talked to a mechanic because my belt light is on. He said it needs to be reset. I only have 2000 miles on it. he said it will come on after so many hrs put on quad, Does anybody know how to reset it? Dont want to pay $100 fr reset. Thx to all who reply!

i would check all the electrical connections, unplug them and make sure not they aren't corroded and plug back in. fuses would probably be ok if you got flicker, they either are blown or good most times. solenoid/starter relay may be bad? try jumping across the posts and see if that gives you anything ... not sure how to reset the belt light, pm ck1999_400ex and he might be able to help you out on that ...

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      1990 Kawasaki Bayou 220 wiring issues
      By neilroy87
      I have a 1990 Bayou 220 that runs pretty well for it's age--needs a new muffler, but sounds tough.    Have had to start with a pull cord since I got it, and recently started troubleshooting the start button.  Finding a lot of information on this issue in the forum, but haven't been able to chase it down yet.  Got a new battery, new starter solenoid, and going to replace the starter relay this week, but not convinced that's going to do the trick, since I can't get the neutral light on when turning the key on.  I can start it by jumping the solenoid, but the 2 black wires to the relay do not activate the starter.  Bad ground or a short somewhere?  Is there a good way to just test the ground?

      1995 Kawasaki bayou 220 won't start
      By kaidella
      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!

      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.
