Could use some thoughts /help with this one PLEASE!!!

When I depress the starter button (with the key turned on neutral lite on and oil light on) the quad does not start that is no juice gets to starter to engage it. BUT the elelectric at the consol cuts out/shuts off -lites neutral lite and oil lights go out AND the starter relay makes a funny sound and vibrates if you hold it. Then if I shut the key off and wait a minute or so and then turn the key back on the electric/juice comes back on. I am 100% sure jucie is getting to the starter relay in question the fuse is OK-does not blow out

It appears it's resetting itself????? I am thinking that the starter relay --the unit next to the battery where 1 wire comes from the battery and the other goes to the starter is shot?????????????????????????

I would take it to a shop but they are relativley far away and I'd have to leave the quad and then go back for it- time consuming and expensive I am sure?????

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO could I PLEASE hear from the crowd on this????

Thanks ever so much- Elder statesman- BOB

my opinion on this you have it figured out. another thing i would possibly check would be your relay and if the bike has a belt light i would check it to see if mabey it is resetting itself i used to have a kawasaki 750 bruteforce that done this exact same ended up being belt lite needed to be reset from factory. but also mine wouldnt run very strong as it was i could get the bike to fire though.

Oxidized Black BINGO after all the several electrical items I fixed /or replaced-which were shot, the last item causing a problem was a bad connection at the battery--YOU WERE RIGHT-TX

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      2008 Brute Force 650, clutch is slow to engage
      By Coyote251
      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

      I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?
      By BuckBilly
      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.
