Changed the solenoid that came in today and bought a sealed battery with more cranking amps then the old one. The Big Bear fired right up!

I will try changing out the solenoid first because of the clicking in the rear. Watched a few videos so waiting for the part to come in. Also bought the mothers brand headlight lense cleaning to give a shot when the new bulbs I ordered come in. Just giving some updates if anyone cared!

I had a look at it I wonder why they didn't remove the plastic from the frame to work it. But it didn't seem to bad just a heat gun needed.

Yes I had seen one in the local academy I just didn't know the level of difficulty on a wrap package. I appreciate the manual that will come in handy.

I need to add a pull start and finish tracing where the problem is for the electric starter. Thought also about plasti coat for the plastics.

I joined not long ago and just wanted to introduce myself. I have currently a 1996ish Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4 that my father-in-law did some work on. Its still a work in progress but its getting there. Love the swamp scenery for riding. Love to hunt but don't do it that often. Hard to find places to go.

Thank you for the response I will start there then and slowly work my way through these items. I'm just not atv savy to much.

I have been trying to troubleshoot my electric starter not working all of a sudden. I believe the big bear I have is a 1996. I checked the fuse under the seat and I checked the battery at the local advanced auto in town. When I press the starter it just clicks once and the red light to the right side lights up until I release the button. If anyone has any idea what could be the issue please feel free to shoot some information my way.

Thanks,

Josh
