If you don’t get a reading, you need to trace the wiring back to your battery to wind where the connection is broken.

The solenoid works as a switch that sends a high current to your starter when you push the start button or turn the key. Replace it with the right size fuse and try starting again. If your battery is charged, but you still get nothing when turning the key, you may have a blown main fuse. Most ATVs have a main fuse your user manual will help you locate it. If your fully charged battery drops below 11,5 volts under load (while you crank the starter), it needs to be replaced. An easy way to test your battery is by checking the voltage drop with a multimeter as you try starting the bike. If the voltage drops too low, the battery won’t have enough charge to start the bike.Ĭharge the battery or replace it if it’s dead.

Use a multimeter or a voltmeter to check the voltage. Many ATVs are designed not to start when in gear as a safety precaution. Make sure the ATV is in “Park” or Neutral

You’d be surprised how often the solution to an ATV that won’t start is forgetting to turn on the kill switch.Īlso, if your ATV has a tether pull-cord style kill switch, ensure it is connected properly. Make sure the kill switch/run switch is in the “ON” or “RUN” position. If your ATV doesn’t crank when you’re trying to start it, there are a few basic things to consider. The ATV won’t start – the engine is not turning over
