04 quad sport automatic, seems like it is stuck in gear and I can't get in to neutral. Thought starter was bad but I think maybe a neutral switch or something. When you turn it on it says it is in neutral. HELP!!!

The first thing I would do is check all the external shift linkage, since it is easier. There is a small shaft between the gear shift lever and the gear shift shaft, an adjustment there may solve your problem. It sounds like the shift ratchet is working, but maybe it isn't turning the shift drum. If you listen closely, you can hear the gears actually changing inside the gearbox. I would give a listen while you are trying to shift through the gears and try to determine whether you are just hearing and feeling the shift ratchet clicking, or if there are gears moving inside the tranny. There will be more noise and resistance if gears are actually being switched. If just the ratchet is working, the shifter will move more easily than usual, and you will only hear the click of the shift ratchet. If you think only the ratchet is moving, you may need to pop the side cover off of the motor on the right hand side of the machine, this is the cover on the side opposite the gear shift lever. Between the shift ratchet and gearshift drum, there should be a small pin that the shift ratchet uses to turn the drum, this may be broken.

      Looking for Quadrunner Flywheel Starter Clutch Gear race diameter
      By logray
      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      99 Bear tracker no neutral or reverse light or start button
      By OldATVowner
      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks

      Starter not staying engaged while cranking
      By HoldenBoy
      Hi all,
      Looking for some help on a starter/bendix issue. Can Am outlander 450 2017. While cranking to start, the starter spins and engages into the ring gear. After a few seconds the bendix retracts while still spinning and there is no damaged teeth on the drive pulley.

      Starter circuit cut out relay 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4
      By crankin
      I have a 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4. It used to start right up. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't crank. I have a schematic for it so I started tracing the problem. I had no power at the starter solenoid. According to the schematic the power comes from the neutral switch and through the starter circuit cut out relay. I cannot locate the cut out relay on this machine.. If I apply power to the relay it will crank with the start button.
      The neutral switch is hard to get to with all the brackets on this thing. I did find out from all my research that if I apply the rear brake lever it will start.
      Does anybody know if the cut out relay exists and where it might be found?
