Twist and spin the facts all you want . I just hope nobody in your circles of contacts suffers from the reality and consequences of denying the seriousness of the COVID pandemic and the steps to reduce its spread until vaccines can at least reduce it to a very low level. It may have already had enough mutations to make it endemic like the flu virus is so far .. Have fun, I'm done with this thread . There's no vaccine for stupid and no sense trying to point to fact with you lot .

The point is masks don't stop all of them , but most, and if worn by the one infectious and the one possible victim. It REDUCES the spread , doesn't stop it just as masks reduce the chance of spreading infection in operating rooms. Flu cases have not gone "extinct" . They have been greatly reduced in the last year simply because the majority of the population has been smart enough to obey the recommendations to reduce the spread of COVID which at the same time reduces the spread of flu among the unvaccinated. I feel sorry for you if you can't understand a fact as simple as that. COVID has gone up where there was the least acceptance of the measures meant to help reduce the spread.. Look at the states and counties where the infection rates are highest .. They perfectly coincide with where refusal to mask up or social distance has been greatest.

Read and understand the WHO article you quote.. Use of masks alone will not reduce the incidence significantly .. They are only one part of the measures needed. Vaccines aren't the reason flu was down considerably .. It was use of masks and the other measures to limit COVID exposure that helped reduce the rate last winter. You can follow your right wing denial sources all you want . I know full well there's nothing I or anyone else not on the extreme right can change your mind. 98% + of the world is wrong. Only the true believers of the far right have all the answers. As I said before to Freedomflyer , enjoy your alternate universe .

Enjoy your alternate universe. I prefer this one .

However much some try to deny the effectiveness of masks in HELPING to limit the spread of the virus , the fact is the anti-maskers and those that refuse to practice social distancing are the very reason the pandemic is still as bad as it is. It amazes me how some people can ignore the WHO and the vast majority of doctors everywhere to listen to the conspiracy theorists and the very small minority that pooh pooh the recommendations of the world wide medical community. Flu is way down simply because the measures taken by the majority to try to limit COVID also are effective against the flu. Less exposure, less infection. Look at New Zealand and to a lesser extent , Australia and other nations who took the pandemic seriously and did what's necessary to limit it as much as possible. Then look at what's happening in areas of the US and Canada where the strongest refusal to follow recommendations because of their inane sense of " freedom". It would be nice if they'd learn what real freedom is . It is not the freedom to possibly infect others because you don't want to be inconvenienced for your own good and that of others .

The first digit represents the country of origin. The most common are: 1 or 4 = USA 2 = Canada 3 = Mexico J = Japan K = Korea E = England W = Germany Z = Italy 2nd and 3rd letters signify Arctic Cat 4th and 5th are model year 6-8 are type (SNW snowmobile, ATV, MPV prowler etc) 9th is a check digit 10th is the last digit of the year (9 = 2009, A=2010, B=2011, C=2012 etc) 11th is a "T" This one I don't know why, just that its always a "T" 12-17 are the "serial number" Your Cat was made in 2010

Glad to see the site back up. I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.

If I read the schematic right the neutral light (19) and the path to ground for the starter button relay (11) should only be on when the neutral safety switch ( 20) is closed. That would indicate to me the problem is in the mounting of the neutral safety switch. For some reason the switch is open when in neutral and closed when in gear. There is either linkage not set right or is it possible to mount the switch turned 180 degrees? Disconnect the wires from the neutral switch and check for continuity in the switch .. In gear it should be open ( no reading on the meter) and some value close to 0 when in neutral. YFB250 Service Manual - 7a894ceb-c5b6-4f18-a285-6e8cf99f52fd.pdf

Yes it was search results. One of the sites claiming to have a pdf available was either a bait site or had been hacked so that when you went to download the "pdf" a pop up came saying an update to my browser ( Firefox) appeared.. It likely would have substituted the name of whichever browser was being used. It is a fairly common exploit that traps the unwary. Any time I spot something like that when searching to try to help others, or in phishing e-mails, I like to warn others of them. I usually post about them in my Facebook so my contacts know of them and can spread the word to their contacts . Far too many people use their computers but are not really aware of the various exploits out there so are too often vicitimized by them . I just use Microsoft's own anti-virus and my own "spidey sense" when browsing and checking e-mail. I also occasionally scan with Malwarebytes for adware and similar crap. I also subscribe to a couple of tech news services that often give heads up on new exploits out there. Being retired, I have a little more time to do searches and browsing on the computer so I am often a little more able to find information for fellow forum members who may not be quite so familiar with computers , searching and the various forms of malware out there .. If my warnings help even one perso evade the pain, frustration and expense of an exploit, I'm happy . I don't mind others in some of the forums I'm in grumping about my warnings because the exploits are old news .. Far too many others aren't familiar with that old news . My posts are for those it'll help , not for the " know it alls" .. LOL No matter what anti-virus you use, it's always best to occasionally check with something like Malwarebytes too. . Norton is among the best pay A/Vs but I quit it years ago because I found it a resource hog . Microsoft has greatly improved their built in A/V for basic protection . There are plug-ins for Firefox and the other browsers that also add a layer of protection and an awareness of the many exploits out there so far have kept me safe without spending a bundle onpay services . For those interested , here's the site that regularly evaluates all the main anti-viruses out there.. They're an independent service , not pushing any one product like some "test and evaluation" sites do. https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/

I hope Jerandangel got the information they wanted and didn't fall for that trojan posing as a browser update on one page claiming to offer a wring diagram download .

Does the motor turn over on the starter or do you get nothing ? If nothing the problem could be the neutral safety switch safety switch or another safety switch is faulty.. If everything works and the motor turns over on the starter then it could be the CDI box ( most likely) or the trigger coil is in the stator assembly is bad. By the way , Be careful if you search for a wiring diagram. I did and found one site that had been compromised by a trojan.. Tried the link to the pdf it listed and got the message the link didn't work. There was another link listed on the page that supposedly went to a download page, it showed a different address and a op up box that my browser ( Firefox) had an important update. That was a trap trojan installer. No, I did not click it . I know my FF is up to date and about scams like that one . Those SOBs catch far too many unwary people and every time I see something like that I post in the forum I did the search to help try to answer a question so if others search they have a heads up that the exploit is out there. See if you can find someone local with a CDI box that fits your machine that you can borrow to see it if it does the trick.. There is a manual in the downloads sectionof the forum but toy need 10 posts before you can get it . Good luck with your quad.

It sounds like a very lean run at idle. If you have thoroughly checked the manifold for leaks I would suspect a carb setting.Did you change the setting on the needle in the throttle slide?. If it is in the top slot try moving it down one notch and see if idle improves. My 300FW runs best with that needle two down from top.

Don't you find it strange that the rest of the real world doesn't agree with your version of the world and the COVID pandemic? COVID - 19 is not the Flu ( influenza) or one of the common cold viruses. It is a variety of Corona virus and the numbers I listed come from very reliable American and other world wide sources . Where you get your numbers from , I have no idea. Since no one else wants to chime into this thread I'll leave it to you to have the last word. I'll be glad when the vaccines are widely available everywhere so this virus can be brought under control and the world can get back to some sort of normal. Take care Jacob . The world is a lot different than your view of it outside your community.

Other than repeating the obvious I can't offer much more . Start at the battery. Make sure it is full charged .Check for a blown fuse or fusible link. Check the terminals and ground wire for loose / corrosion and then follow the power forward to where it is first lost. Check a wiring diagram to see what controls the power to that point, and so on until you hit on where the failure is .. There are service manuals for earlier Renegade 800 models in the downloads section that may have the same wiring diagram as your machine.

You and the others you claim had the COVID infection as proven by a swab test ?.. It is not a cold or flu strain. It is a Corona virus strain. Most young people don't get serious complications from it , and many never even show clinical symptoms beyond loss of taste or smell. It is a killer of mainly the elderly and immune compromised. Whether you want to believe the statistics or not , I would say well over 500,000 dead and counting is serious. Some areas get away with few suffering from it , others are not so lucky. I cannot change your beliefs.. I can point out the facts for those willing to listen to consider. Conspiracy theories are like religions. They are based on belief and not on tangible, proven facts and science. Facts and science get rejected when they interfere with deep rooted belief. That's why it is so difficult to wean anyone away from a cult. Their final words are "I BELIEVE". End of discussion.

It is a health issue that unfortunately IS a big issue . It isn't just a big issue for the left in the US, it is a big issue IN EVERY COUNTRY. That should tell you something. It is not your run of the mill Flu bug. It is an entirely different killer that has every possibility of turning into far more infectious and deadly with every mutation. If you would watch mainstream news maybe you would get some clue to that fact. Over 500,000 Americans alone have died from complications of the virus and there will be more. The science and medical communities fear now it may become endemic ; requiring annual vaccinations against the mutating virus , just as the flu does now for the vulnerable. It's no joke Jacob. I hope you and your family and friends don't find that out first hand. Ask your parents and grandparents about Polio and Smallpox . Read some history of smallpox. Smallpox vaccination was available until 1980 when it was finally declared eradicated. Polio was a big crippler and killer until a vaccine came out in 1955. Polio crippled Franklin Roosevelt. It crippled and killed many in its outbreaks over the years, My sister survived a mild case of polio in her youth with only minor neurological damage. Many kids spent what little life they had left in "Iron lungs". Neither Smallpox nor Polio spread world wide as fast as the COVID virus simply because the nations and population wasn't so connected by easy transportation as it is now. That easy connection is what makes viruses like CV-19 so dangerous and require economically painful measure to try to contain. Believe the science , not the damn fools on the far and extreme right who think everything is a conspiracy against them until they are directly affected by it themselves . Then it's too late .

There is a repair manual in the forum's download section.

Calling out uninformed conspiracy theories is not political no matter how much you want to call it that . I call out stupidity whether it comes from the right or the left .. Right now the worst of it that is damaging to both our countries is coming from the extreme right. Whether you want to accept that fact or not . Drop the conspiracy comments from the forum and get back to quadding and I will do the same , but post up BS from the extremists and I will call it out . .I do it here and other forums I'm in. More people need to do it because as it is the conspiracy theorists are sucking in more and more people that want to believe the garbage and won't look for the truth and fact . I would not be surprised if it was found that some at least of the trolls promoting the conspiracies use cyrillic text at home. Fostering conspiracy theories feed right into their agenda .

It's not political. It's a health issue.

As I said Jacob , enjoy your fantasy world . The COVID strain of the Corona virus is not a strain of the flu no matter what your right wing conspiracy theorists claim. I know very well facts and evidence presented by the mainstream science and health industries will never confuse the true believers. 99% of the world is wrong . Only the true believers are right.

I call BS on having had 2 strains of COVID-19. Enjoy your fantasy world. The real one is much harsher.

That narrows it down to from the output side of the clutch and transmission then.

If the machine will roll in gear with the motor off, I would suspect a worn out belt. If the machine won't move in neutral or if you put it into either forward or reverse gear then either the brake is seized, or something is jamming the differential or transmission.

Masks are not a joke. The way people wear them , and more importantly, refuse to wear them is - a very bad joke. You were one of the lucky ones. Over 500,000 Americans were the unluckiest, and many more will have life long problems because of it . The economy is not being "run into the ground" anywhere. Yes, people are hurting, many are losing their homes, but when this pandemic is brought under control the economy will rebound at an astonishing rate. Fact is , if people had listened to the science and taken the recommended precautions there would have been far fewer deaths and the restrictions would never have had to reach the levels they have for as long as they have. The proof of that lies in the countries that did take the pandemic seriously right from the start , most notably New Zealand and Australia. Even China where the pandemic first broke out has got it under much greater control than we have .. Had the government there admitted the problem right from the beginning , it might never have made the spread it has. Viruses do not "need to run their course". If vaccines and safety precautions are useless then we'd still be blessed with such horrible viruses as Small Pox and Polio which crippled and killed so many in my youth until a vaccine came out and stopped it. Be extremely thankful the Ebola virus was contained and a vaccine has been developed against it . Had that one turned into a pandemic the results would have been particularly horrible, making COVID really look like no more than a bad cold. Seeing people die a bloody mess has a lot more effect than seeing them die from COVID complications. Be extremely thankful modern science and the medical community was able to contain Ebola and develop vaccines as fast as they have. We will have our herd immunity when enough people are vaccinated and the rest take reasonable precautions until then. I will exercise my freedom to do so until I can get the vaccine . I am not willing to sacrifice any of my family, friends or community needlessly to let the virus "run its course" for the sake of the "economy". Sick people buy very little, dead ones even less. History can tell you what happened to the "economies" of native populations of North America and elsewhere when outbreaks of Smallpox occurred for the best example I can think of. By the way , masks block moisture much better than dry dusts and both are stopped by a properly worn mask.

We are very lucky the virus so far has severely affected so few of the ones infected by it. The reality of viruses is they are only one or two mutations away from becoming a much more serious and contagious form. The more people infected by a virus, the greater chance those mutations could occur. We are ALL sick and tired of the virus and the steps needed to try to limit its spread. Had more listened to the pros and taken the steps to limit it , it is very possible it would not have reached the levels it has . New Zealand and Australia are the best examples of that in the "Free World", and in China which is far from our vision of a free world and where the virus first went into a pandemic has it under control to the point they are able to relax a lot of their restrictions. Those are demonstrable facts that support my opinion. As I said in a previous post in the thread .. Science is based on facts and can change when new facts are presented. Opinions are based on belief, and as such are not easily changed by facts. Some find it easy to change opinion when facts contrary to their belief are presented , but far too many refuse to even consider any fact that doesn't support their belief, and as such will not change their opinion. In my 77 years I have had my opinion changed more than once by facts presented that were contrary to my belief at the time .
