7 years later and I'm still using this same dump cart. It's done various jobs for me every year and hauls a good amount of weight. Just posted the pic below in the gallery. Last weekend I took apart some old wet outdoor steps that were very heavy. I was throwing them into the cart, the plastic held up and continues to hold up without issue. Never had to do anything to this thing. I would buy another one in a heart beat!

Welcome to QUADCRAZY. Maybe it's not a 2009. You could check the manual for older big bears below but its for a 400 and see if there is any info in there that's closer. Or check the other yamaha manuals available in the downloads section for wiring schematics https://www.quadcrazy.com/files/category/3-yamaha-atv/ There really should be a vin stamped somewhere unless this ATV was repaired/modified or even stolen at one point where they would remove it.

Great video! 👍

You can probably find an aftermarket one and possibly a factory OEM for less than $100. Although I would probably opt for a factory thermostat if you can get it cheaper. Aftermarket is less expensive @$25 Polaris Sportsman 600 700 800 Twin Thermostat 7052352 7052308 on Amazon If you hunt around online, you can probably find an OEM for @ $50

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

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

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.

So you checked and there is no spark, correct? You pulled the plug and tested while cranking?

Do you have a factory exhaust or aftermarket? * Added to the topic title - your issue and manufacturer. 😁

Unfortunately I can't seem to locate a service manual. I did find what looks to be an older owners manual for these things if you need it. I added it to the downloads section:

* Topic moved to Kazuma ATV forum and added ATV info into topic title with issue.

There's a 2006 DVX 400 in the downloads section https://www.quadcrazy.com/files/category/9-arctic-cat-atv/ if that helps.

Put it into gear, not neutral, and hold down the hand brake. Does it start? * Cleaned up topic title and added full ATV info.

Have you changed the oil recently? Here's a good article to read through https://nicholasfluhart.com/2015/01/08/project-bayou-300-4x4-clutch-repair/ I just added a link to the service manual if you don't already have it * Added ATV information into topic title.

Great photos!

Added issue to your topic title. 🙂 Here's a good video to give you and idea of what to do. Make sure you use ATV or 4 stroke oil not just regular motor oil.

Change the oil and spark plug also. Check the air filter. You may have carb issue if it sat for a while and may need a good cleaning.

That's interesting, so pressing the electric start cranks the starter but the motor just never turns over? Spark is cut off when using the electric start? * Added full year and manufacturer to topic title.

I just added this externally hosted file:
