ok so i have a 2000 yamaha warrior 350, and it gets no power from the battery. iv ruled out the starter relay ( its new from yamaha) and i just got a new Neg battery cable and ground. there are still a bumch of things it can be but im not going to spend $$ on parts that are fine. the Quad can be pushed and the clutch poped and then it will run so it has spark and runs fine. just nothing electrical works. can anyone lend a hand? willing to pay. i do not own a trailer and the Quad is located in south buffalo. ---

Tors only limits the rpm, it wouldn’t keep it from getting power. I don’t believe the warrior has it though. ---

is there a safety switch anywhere for starting? make sure that is working or not in the system have the key on and hook pos/neg on the starter. if it cranks, move down the line to the starter solenoid. should have power in\>power out, a starter signal wire, and a ground, or it will be grounded through the frame. as for your headlights, get a testlight and start from the headlights back. check all grounds. do you ride in wet/muddy conditions alot? i had a 400ex that water got inside the switch assembly on the handlebars and decided to fry the switches. i ended up using a kx killswitch for a start button, an on/off/on toggle for the headlights, and a tether for a killswitch. my guess is mud or something got in somewhere and fried something in the electrical system. ---

update for anyone that can help. i put in the new starter and still nothing works, but if i wire a line right from the starter to the battery it cranks and starts. so i have a broken wire or broken start switch. anything else i could be missing?? ---

Its the switch on the handle bars or the key igniton. Test both… Edit just touch the wires together for the switch and ignition to complete the circuit. Edit again lol… I hope you checked the fuse first? Its under the left rear fender in a rubber casing IIRC and that will cause the exact issue your having. ---

Get the right (new) fuse and its really hard to tell if they are bad cause you can’t see behind the metal part. I’ll bet a dollar that’s it! 🙂 ---
