Hi All,
my 500 trail will not start.
Ran great the day before and started no problem.
battery is showing 13.4 volts and i can hear the solenoid clicking when i turn the key.
fuel pump does not run either.
i tried swapping out the Kill switch as was mentioned in another post somewhere to no avail.

any ideas on where to go from here?

T.I.A!!

When you turn the key to the starter position, does the engine turn over or do you hear just a click?

So it doesn't rotate. The only thing that makes the click is the starter solenoid. That means either there isn't enough power to the starter, or the starter has a problem, or the starter can't rotate the engine..as in its seized. Lets hope that's not the case.

Charge the battery then load test it. If bad, replace. If good, check all battery cable connections- both positive and negative. Fix/clean/tighten anything suspicious. If still a problem jumper directly from the battery to the starter. If it rotates you may only have a bad solenoid. If no rotation better see if you can turn the crank by hand. If no wet clutch you an pull the CVT cover and turn the primary. If it has a wet clutch go in from the other side. Be sure not to turn it backwards. If you can rotate it 360 degrees then I would say there's a starter problem. Pull it and see.
