  1. Z/ZL/ZR/ZRT/T-Cat/EXT/JAG/Cougar
    I have a 98 zr600 carb model and it runs fantastic for about an hour or more of riding, then it may start running very poorly with weak spark. It will run very boggy like, and if I load the electrical, such as putting the handwarmers on or high beams, it will run even worse, sometimes completely...
  2. Panther/Pantera/T570/Touring
    Would would I need to dig into if it ran with a booster hooked to the (new) battery but not without? I could pull start it but the electric start wouldn't kick it. It's been sitting now for a few years so, I'm sure I'll have a few more issues but I need a few ideas to start from. A buddy...

    Hello, I have a 2002 Arctic Cat 500 4x4 that I recently received from a friend. It is supposed to have worked just fine until the wiring harness began to smoke. If I can fix it, it will be my first ATV! He said things were working fine before the wiring harness fire. I went online and found a...

Tried unplugging kill switch and teather and still nothing. Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Out west and...

    Hi Everyone I have a 1998 454 that has an engine problem once it is warmed up. It starts and runs fine until warmed up then it starts to lose rpms and sounds like it starts misfiring and stalls. It will not restart until the engine cools back down and the same thing happens again. It happens...

    No idea what could be causing this but my arctic cat can start with the key on the no lights option, but won’t start at all and dies when I turn it to lights on, any ideas? Thanks Neil Price
  8. Vintage 1992 & Older
    I recently picked up an 86 jag in quite good condidtion for a really good price. I was able to get it running well and replaced some basic age wear items but the electrical system has me stumped. When I start the sled the lights will generally get very bright and blow. I replaced the voltage...

    Total newbie here (mechanically speaking too) and looking for suggestions on next step(s). ATV: 2016 500 model, purchased new. Background on recent issues that have lead to where I am now: Bike stopped working one day, wouldn’t start. Long and short of it is the starter relay and starter...

    Hey guys, just enjoying the beautiful days here, decided to tinker with my sled i bought back in july, only to find the magnetic switches missing, just curious, saw these on my friends sled when i was doing carb work on his. There is a plug in for them, just also wondering what do these switches...

    Hey folks. Im having some issues with the electrical n my 79 Lynx. It runs great but has some issues. The kill switch is reversed. It will only run if the switch is set to kill, and if it is set to run sometimes it shuts off, sometimes it doesnt. There is no key or ignition and no jumper...
  12. M Series/Mountain Cat Pre 2011
    I have a 2002 Mountain Cat 600EFI, I got it last season and it ran great. at the very end of last season the sled died on me in mid powder turn. The sled would turn on but as soon as you put enough throttle on the machine to move it, it would die again. after a couple hours of this i got it to...

    Have a 1995 550 arctic cat. Was riding down trail yesterday after about one and half hours of riding, motor just turned off. No sputters bangs or pops. Just off like someone hit the kill switch. Checked for spark and no spark. Jumped out the safty switch and key switch with a jumper from 2...
  14. Utility ATV repair, maintenance, troubleshooting
    I finally got around to getting a new battery for my ATV and got it fully charged and installed. Started a little hard since I haven't been using it for several months, but it did get going. Road it around in the snow (even got stuck we've had so much snow) and was working well on the street in...
  15. 4 Strokes
    I bought a 2002 T660 last year and have had the problem of intermittent starting since the beginning (I'm guessing this is why the sled was for sale). Here's what happens: - It starts great when it's cold and runs excellent if you keep it going - After a few hours of riding I'll stop and here...

    I wanted to share my intermittent starting issue on my ’05 TBX 500. This quad is in perfect condition, garage kept etc. For about (2) years I have been plagued by random starter issues. I could always pull start and usually the problem just – “went away”. I kept my battery charged and tried...
  17. Prowler
    Installing a winch on my '12 Prowler HDX, trying to find a good spot to plug in to get the keyed power. The book says there's an accessory plug in the front harness somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyone know where its at, or where the best place is to tie in to?

    Hi: My LCD displays "Volt". My battery will not charge. What should I look for in a logical order of troubleshooting. Any help would be appreciated...
  19. Z/ZL/ZR/ZRT/T-Cat/EXT/JAG/Cougar
    I've got a 1996 ZR 440 and the handwarmer has been acting up late last season, as in sometimes working sometimes not. This season it continued this behavior but one day I noticed the RPM gauge quit working. Then the next trip I took the speedometer quit working and now also the headlights and...
