So , it's been quite some time since I've had any Atv's to play / tinker with , I found a decent deal on craigslist for a 2007, starts and rides great , but it also has a few minor things I didn't notice when i test drove it.

I Noticed that one headlight was very dim while the other was bright , I decided if i'm gonna spend any money , i might as well get something good. I ordered a set of the LED bulbs , i believe H6 ? Long story short put them both in and only 1 worked. I notice today when i have the switch in the OFF position the one i thought didn't work indeed does, switching to low turns this one off an the other side on, High leaves that same side on and i haven't noticed any difference in power output. My first guess was a wiring issue but it all looks to be untampered with , so to google i went hoping to find that it was a common issue and maybe someone has a fix. I haven't found much and ive noticed it hard to find anything at all about my particular model , but i did come across a few things that mention the YFM450 (Kodiak and or Grizzly ) have the same engine? or very similar , although the chassis parts are not the same , Which brings me to my next issue , Im assuming they had smacked into a bunch of things an the front bumper was removed , i'd love to get my hands on another only i cant find anything online. Does anyone make aftermarket parts for these? Last,i sought out something with 4x4 to leave myself open for the option to add a plow , I'd Love to see picture if someone has the same model and has mounted one , Just to give me an idea of what it in tails to install a new one. Any and all help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.

      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time

      Okay so I bought this 1997 sazuki king quad from a guy and he had it for a few years. 
      He had it registered and on the trails last year but he said it bogged and backfired when he would try to drive it. so it sat for a year. 
      I bought it for 800 bucks and got it running that night and it ran great for a few days 
      But I parked it the other night and went to start it again and it was really hard to fire up and when I did it was bogging and idling high then low again.
      So I took the carb out and cleaned it (ended up doing it twice because it was still doing the same thing) 
      Now today I have it running slightly better, but it is still like 20% 
      I have been looking it up and trying to figure it out but I can't find the issue, has anyone else had this problem? I'll attach a video of it running and giving some throttle
