bear tracker 250 Bear Tracker doesn't start with neutral light
Doh !! I just looked at that diagram one last time and I see that the second relay isn't a relay at all.. it's the starter solenoid.. Haha.. Disregard all this last bit.. I'll better keep thinking . -

bear tracker 250 Bear Tracker doesn't start with neutral light
Ok, so I rechecked. I don't have that year but I looked at several years and although their wiring differs a little the neutral switch always shorts to earth to make the light come on and to allow the starter to operate. The rear brake lever on the bars also has a switch that earths when you pull that lever that also allows operation of the starter even if the bike's in gear. Between the neutral switch and the brake switch there is a diode to prevent the power going through the neutral bulb feeding back and putting the neutral light on every time you use the brake. In the diagram the diode look as if it's built into the relay. The other relay the bike has doesn't have a diode built in. I wonder if the two relays have been swapped ? Without testing the relay connections with a gauge I can't tell where the connections/pins on the relay are, and so can't figure whether it would cause the problem, But it's probably possible it could cause it. You could check one relay does have the diode.. I'll attach a wiring diagram, it'll be the same in operation as your one I'm sure... If the diode was just blown and allowing power both ways, it would only cause the neutral light to come on when you used the brake, but, depending on it's pin arrangement, if it got swapped it could cause some weird symptoms.. output.pdf -

2000 sportsman 500 speedometer bypass issue
Picked up this old 2000 polaris sportsman 500 and the speedometer is dead .Tried the bypass to get the awd drive to work but no luck.I grounded the 2 brown wires going to the hubs .Didn't work.The AWD light does not come on and there is no power on the grey wires going to the hubs .I even tried connecting the 2 brown wires at the speedometer plug in .There is 12 volts on the red with white stripe connected to brown at the speedometer plug in .Does the speedometer need to be plugged back in for this to work.Could it be the switch or a burned AWD bulb ? -

bear tracker 250 Bear Tracker doesn't start with neutral light

bear tracker 250 Bear Tracker doesn't start with neutral light
That sounds as if the neutral light works by shorting to earth in every gear except neutral, and in neutral is is open/not connected to earth. I didn't now they worked like that, most I've seen have shorted for neutral.. Talking all makes here.. I'll have another look at the wiring diagram and get back to you after a think.. -

bear tracker 250 Bear Tracker doesn't start with neutral light
Thanks for the help, Looks like the switch had been replaced before as there were some "homemade" connectors to hold the wire on. I replaced the connectors and my neutral light went off completely. which was new. Ordered a new switch on amazon. Replaced it and now the light is always on (but the electric start will not start) regardless of gear. Pulled it, touched the sensor to the engine and the light went off, which was also strange. Either way if i disconnect the neutral switch i can start it in gear with the electric start no problem. Reverse light works when it is in reverse. Going to recheck the wiring diagram, strange, but still a minor nuisance as it will run fine. -

Clutch cover 2007 Honda trx500fe
I usually use a gasket scraper that holds a razor blade to get under the old gasket to get it off. Then get the remains with a dremmel with brass wire brush. Then go over the surface with 400 grit sanding drum with dremmel getting it really smoothe. Then rub the surface down by hand with 600 grit and brake clean to remove any oil left behind. I then put a very thin coat of Hondabond#4 on the gasket inside mating surface to hold it in place while i put things back together. Probably an overkill but i dont want gaskets to leak. They arent cheap and i dont want to have to redo it, been there done that. -

Anyone ?
I agree, it appears to have a Chen Yang 150cc engine on it, at least you know who made the engine, so maybe you can find parts. -
