| TROUBLESHOOTING | ||
|---|---|---|
| Problem | Description | Solution |
| Engine won’t start | No response or crank when pressing the starter button. | Check battery charge, kill switch, ignition switch, starter relay, and fuses. |
| Engine cranks but doesn’t start | Engine turns over but doesn’t start or fire. | Check spark plug, fuel delivery, clean carburetor/injector, and check compression. |
| No spark | No spark at the spark plug when cranking the engine. | Test ignition coil, CDI, stator, and inspect wiring connections. |
| Weak or intermittent spark | Spark is weak or cuts out intermittently during operation. | Replace spark plug, check ignition coil, inspect CDI, and verify ground connection. |
| Hard to start (cold or hot) | Requires multiple attempts to start or throttle manipulation to start. | Clean carburetor or injectors, check choke system, inspect air filter and fuel lines. |
| Starts but stalls | Engine starts briefly then stalls shortly after. | Check fuel flow, clean idle circuit, adjust idle screw, check vacuum lines. |
| Rough or unstable idle | Engine surges, idles erratically, or stalls at idle. | Adjust idle screw, clean idle circuit, inspect intake for vacuum leaks. |
| Poor acceleration or sluggish power | Poor or delayed acceleration when applying throttle. | Clean air filter, inspect throttle cable, clean or adjust carburetor jets. |
| Backfiring (intake or exhaust) | Popping sounds during deceleration or throttle application. | Inspect for air leaks, adjust carburetor, check exhaust system for leaks. |
| Overheating | Engine temperature rises excessively, and cooling fan doesn’t activate. | Check radiator, coolant level, cooling fan, thermostat, and oil level. |
| Excessive exhaust smoke | Blue (oil burning), black (rich mixture), or white smoke (coolant burning). | Blue: Replace valve seals or piston rings. Black: Adjust carburetor settings. White: Inspect head gasket. |
| CVT slipping | Engine revs up but there’s no corresponding acceleration. | Inspect CVT belt, clean clutch sheaves, replace or adjust CVT belt. |
| Transmission won’t shift smoothly | Gears are hard to engage, or shifting is rough. | Check shift linkage, clutch operation, and transmission fluid level. |
| Grinding noise when shifting | Grinding sound when shifting gears. | Check CVT belt, inspect clutch sheaves, check belt deflection. |
| Battery drains quickly | Battery loses charge rapidly, even after riding for extended periods. | Test stator output, inspect regulator/rectifier, and check battery condition. |
| Starter motor not working | Starter motor does not turn over or operates slowly. | Check battery voltage, test starter solenoid and motor, inspect wiring. |
| Electrical issues | Lights, fan, or dash display not working. | Check fuses, relays, and wiring for corrosion or damage. |
| 4WD system not engaging | Front wheels do not engage in 4WD mode. | Inspect 4WD actuator, 4WD switch, front differential, and related wiring. |
| Fuel leak | Fuel smell or visible fuel leakage near the carburetor or tank. | Inspect fuel lines, carb overflow, fuel tank seals, and petcock. |
| Spongy or weak brakes | Brake pedal or lever feels soft or weak, with poor braking performance. | Bleed brake lines, inspect brake fluid levels, check for brake fluid leaks, and replace pads. |
| Brake noise | Squealing or grinding noises during braking. | Replace worn brake pads, clean rotors, check for debris or warped components. |
| Excessive vibration or rattling | Unusual shaking or rattling during riding. | Inspect engine mounts, driveshafts, tires, and suspension components. |
| Steering pulls to one side | ATV veers left or right during riding or braking. | Check tire pressure, suspension alignment, and check for brake drag. |
| Suspension feels harsh or noisy | Rough ride or squeaking sounds when riding over bumps or rough terrain. | Grease suspension pivots, inspect shock absorbers, and replace worn bushings. |
| Cooling fan not operating | Engine overheats because the fan fails to turn on. | Test the fan motor, temperature sensor, relay, and wiring connections. |
| Transmission fluid leak | Transmission fluid leaking from the differential area. | Inspect seals, drain plugs, gaskets, and transmission fluid levels. |
| Clutch not disengaging | Clutch doesn’t disengage properly, causing the ATV to creep. | Check clutch adjustment, inspect clutch cable, and verify clutch components. |
| Poor throttle response | Throttle feels unresponsive or sluggish. | Check throttle cable, carburetor adjustments, and inspect air intake system. |
