I have a 1987 yamaha moto 4 225. Trying to start it and i am running into a problem. When i go to crank it, i turn the key on and the neutral light will not come on. I try to start it and nothing. However, when the lever is back in reverse, the reverse light comes on and also the head lights work.

I know that the neutral light bulb is not out.

Any Ideas??

i had the same problem with my big bear, it turned out to be a wire, like 2 strands and wasn't making a good enough contact. my safety switch is located on the foot shift side, on the top of the motor/transmission. my light never went on before i fixed it too ...

      Carb problem 2007 Honda foreman 500 4x4 es
      By Ejwill
      I put a new carb on my trx500fe which I have done before on other models, but this foreman was a real pain, takes forever to get to the carb. Anyway I got the new one installed . I also changed the choke cable while I had it this far. When I turned the gas back gas started running into the air filter box. I did have trouble with the choke cable, it didn’t seem long enough to run where the old one did and the elbow that came with the new carb had more of a 90 on the angle. It didn’t feel like it was binding but I don’t know if the valve was seated on the valve seat. The choke pushed in smooth but who knows what happened in side the valve body. I don’t know if this could be the problem or not I hadn’t run the it just turned the gas back on. Appreciate any help, hint, hint Mech and GW or anybody else. Deer season is over in a little over a week. My power chair won’t make it down those muddy roads. Thanks again.

      My old quad needs new tires.  I am having a hard time finding the OEM size 25x10-10.  Anyone running more readily available 25x11-10?  Any issues?

      2001 Yamaha bear tracker 250
      By Feehan
      I bought a bear tracker off a friend who said it last ran a year and a half ago. He was going to use it, went to use it and it wouldn't start. He took it to the dealership, and they told him it needed $1200 worth of work one of the things being it needed a new stator.
      I bought an aftermarket stator and in put it in, rebuilt the carb and changed the oil filter, installed a new petcock and gave it a new battery (voltage is 12.8) and oil.
      I turn the ignition on and I see a green N light on. I turn the ignition switch to run and push start and I hear the click of the solenoid and the starter cranks but the 4-wheeler never turns over.
      I have pulled the spark plug and have ground it to the motor housing. I try push run, but I do not see any spark from the spark plug, not even once.
      What should I look to next? I can't for the life of me find a CDI box on my model. If I do it must look and be at a different location of where I am looking, nor can I find a CDI at any parts store which leads me to believe my model doesn't have one. 
      Please excuse the ignorance as I am new to this, but I do have a rectifier and ECU that I do so.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just don't know what readings I should be getting from the pickup coil, stator, ignition coil, etc. 
      Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give!
