I got a 2005 400cc honda quad and i fliped it back and it rolled a little bit on some dirt the other night and bent the handel bars twisted back the clutch lever and some scratchs thats about it. But when i went to go start it with the electric start (no kick start) it would not start or click or nothin and the head lights wouldnt turn on eather... so when i get home i check the 2 fuses which were good and i replaced them any ways and still no start so i took a screw driver to the starter solinoid and it started that way and would only start when the key is turned on and the kill switch was also working as it should .. so i have no idea wat is wrong with it i have all plasctics off and traced all the wires and they all look good and connected and i couldnt see if there was any in line fuses or somthing but if anyone could help me out thad be great PLEASSSSE !! thanks

 

im not sure about quads, but i know street bikes have a tilt sensor...possibly you have something along those lines as well. b/c i know w/the street bike if that think clicks, (by flipping the bike or laying it down hard) it will do the same thing you're saying is happening to you. hope that helps.

 

try disconnecting the batt for a while then hooking it back up. although it kind of sounds like the start button or kill switch is damaged.

 

yea ill go and try that now thanks..

 

Does it have a safety switch on the clutch? I know the 300exs have them, not sure about the 400s. If it does I'd try to jump those wires, if you bent the bars and controls it might not be getting connection.

 

naw no saftey switch that i could see and thats wat im thinking that somthing might have ripped or twsted ot somthing when the bars bent and the cluth lever twisted back also

 

there is a wire down by the front sproket that is the neutral wire its probably broke it wont start with the button if so

 

we have 2 400ex's let me know if you have any more problems or need some of these parts

 

are you tryin to sell them or anything?

 

400exs dont have tilt sensors check the fuses close by the battery
