Definitely the mountains for me, getting to the top of a ridge or coming over a rise and seeing a huge open expanse of valleys, nothing better.

I like to ride anywhere I can cut loose and blow sh** up.. because I need to relax every now and then.

I found the wiring diagram for your Kawasaki online . The ignition switch works through the starter relay, so as quadmaniac says, it is most likely a faulty starter relay.. As long as you hold the starter button you are getting ignition power as well as starter run but releasing the button does not allow power to continue going to the ignition circuit.

Have you checked your starter relay? Pull out the fuse and put it back in. The relay may be shorted. I looked on amazon, it's under $10 and it should look something like this:

That's crazy! Good shot! Looks beautiful out there!

uncleal, My two cents, It really does depend on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to be in wide open spaces and don't have to worry about switch back turns on mountain trails or tight corners anywhere for that matter anything larger than a 500 would probably be fine. I have a couple of Rancher 420's, they are not speed demons, I don't really use them for anything other than trail riding and we do ride double. So far they seem to have plenty of power for what I use them for. I do have a plow mounted on one of them and other than the plow tipping forward when I don't want it to, it seems to have plenty of power for that as well. As far a price goes, both of mine are 2013's they both had an estimated 2500 - 3000 miles on them and I gave around $3800 for each of them. One had new tires all the way around and one had new on front and I bought new for the rear then added a graphics kit to each of them along with a deep cleaning and repainting of wheels etc. so all in all about $4000 each. I bought one 2 years ago and the other one about a year ago so they are about 4 years old. before I got these two I had a couple of older machines that I purchased, cleaned up and resold one a 98 kawasaki prairie and a 2008 Yamaha Grizzly I had fuel tank and line issues with both of them but they were in top running condition when I got rid of them. So keep that in mind with a machine that is a little older that has that few of miles on them you never know how long they've been sitting. Just some food for thought, FF

i LOVE to ride and race, as everyone knows. it keeps me in shape, keeps me sane, great way to take out your frustrations.....plus, it helps me stay bonded to my husband sooo much, we both ride and race....its awesome.
