2007 Grizzly 450: Mine clicks continuous upon trying to start it. I replaced the starter relay assembly (OEM part); however, it still clicks upon starting (and holds the clicking - until I let off the starter button). Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks for the video.

[@MichaelEd]

ERS772 through my experience with starting issues with my Grizzly, if it’s still clicking when trying to start I would check the battery. My grizzly is notorious for not kicking out the start bendex if it’s not getting at least 12v. I’ve also noticed that the cheaper (Walmart/auto parts store) batteries don’t do well either. I’ve had to get the good oem battery which was for me about 120.00 dollars and I haven’t had a battery issue for 3yrs now, unlike the other cheaper batteries which would crap out, or not have enough amps to kick out the starter bendex after maybe one year. Long story short look at your voltage and amperage when trying to start your grizzly. I found anything at or under 12volts will cause the relay to click. Other than that you could take your starter to the auto parts store and have them test it to make sure your not have a start problem, but I’m pretty confident that if your relay is clicking and you bought a good relay that it may be a battery issue. I hope my experience is/was helpful.

Robert Little the high pitch sounds comes from where? And do you get the same results whether you turn it off using the key and the stop switch?

[@robertlittle7981]

Usually always the key don't know where the sound comes from sometimes acts like the battery is dead but it's not

[@MichaelEd]

Robert Little have you tried jumping the Starter relay? Does it engage and turn the motor over?

[@bakervinci163]

Is the relay always under the seat

[@MichaelEd]

I would assume so. It’s between the battery and the starter. Just follow you battery positive(hot) cable. It should lead you to your starter relay.

Be sure to check all battery connections, solenoid connections, any and all fuses and their connections, your wiring harness, key switch and it’s connection. There is a lot to diagnose. Start with the battery and work your way through all the electrical that makes the atv start-up. Multimeter will be your best tool/friend.

Yeah, try jumping the solenoid.

[@SRTNICKK]

Michael Ed to fix it I would have to replace what you replaced in the video or would it be something else ?

[@MichaelEd]

Well...... You might want to check your battery for 12v. If your able to jump the solenoid and crank it then I would believe it a faulty solenoid. Also check the fuses connected to the solenoid.

[@MichaelEd]

OmgItsNick any luck?

[@johncenters4643]

[@MichaelEd]

John Centers check to make sure you got fresh clean fuel and that it’s making it the carb. Check spark plug and make sure it’s not fouled or cracked. Also check for adequate spark. Pretty much gonna be one or the other. Just remember..... “Fire,Fuel,and at the right time,” Three key elements to make an engine run.

[@DRAPERispeace]

I hope you see this, I have already replaced the solenoid recently. Worked great for awhile! Now it won’t start again. Battery is fully charged. Still not starting, it is very cold outside though. Any idea what it could be? I need help!!

[@MichaelEd]

DRAPERispeace yes sir! I read all comments posted, and try to responded as timely as possibly. best advise I can think of is to start at the beginning and work through the process of elimination to help find the reason why it isn’t starting. Get you volt meter and check battery for proper volts (anything above 12, like 12.25 is a hot battery) Check to see if the solenoid is working. (Are you getting 12 volts to the starter when trying to crank it?) If not refer back to the solenoid. Check the fuses on the solenoid. Can you up the solenoid to make the starter engage? If those are good, have you tested your starter? Does it work properly? Does your atv make that buzzing sound like in my video?

[@caseysimon6357]

Hi I have a question and am hoping you can help me out online VS a service. I was out yesterday doing a run. Other bikes were struggling at one area so I shut my 2021 Kodiak EPS off. Once everyone was through the troublesome area, I switched my key on, the display lit up as normal, I pushed the starter and there was a click. The screen went blank. There was no power. I jiggled the key on / off. In the on position - there was no response. Moving to the off position, the screen would light up and cycle through whatever it does and then turn off. This happened several times in about 20 minutes of effort. We checked battery connections and most of the fuses with no luck. We jiggled some wires and connections again and then disconnected / reconnected the battery and everything then worked fine. This is the 3rd outing this has happened. It happens only sometimes - with no rhyme or reason. Do you have any insight as to what I should be looking for to fix this ?

[@MichaelEd]

With it being that new, I would take it in under warranty. Could just be in the key switch, but if is doesn’t have a warranty you might wanna bring a multi meter with you to help find the bad connection. 🤷‍♂️ I know isn’t a definite answer but hopefully give you got some direction.

[@MichaelEd]

Thanks for posting your question. If anyone else knows of this issue your having, hopefully they’ll chime in. 👍

[@robertlittle7981]

I replaced the starter relay and had the same problem once it's hot won't start have to wait till the engine cools down

[@MichaelEd]

Robert Little definitely check out your connections (tight, clean, no corrosion/rust and the same for your grounds [chassis and battery]. From your explanation I can only think it’s an electrical issues. Whether bad cables, connections or components (like starter, relay, battery) I can’t think of anything else that could cause it not to wanna turn off via the Key and start button. It’s really difficult to diagnose the situation from my end. Process of diagnosing/elimination via testing is going to help you find the issue.

[@prudencegumdrop9557]

Just replaced the solenoid damn thing still won't start

[@MichaelEd]

@@prudencegumdrop9557 could be a list of issues. Battery, battery connections, could be the new solenoid?🤷‍♂️ Best thing I would do is start by check that your battery is good and can produce enough amperage to start your atv, then test your starter to make sure it’s not hooped. After that it could be a number of connections and or starter switch/button, etc electrical connection between the key switch, starter button, relays, grounds, etc. If your atv is turning over and not starting, then you gotta go back to the basics of fuel, fire, and at the right time, and also compression. Not sure what going on with your atv when all there is to go on is “it won’t start, even though I replaced this part.”

[@jagers4xford471]

Did you check those fuses? Wouldn't that suck if all it was was a blown fuse?

[@MichaelEd]

Lucky the fuses are on both sides of the solenoid and easily visible. That would have been an easier fix because you wouldn’t be able to jump the post to start it with a blown fuse.

[@Alaska7506]

You do have 2 fuses, but 1 of them is a spare incase the main fuse blows. So the functioning fuse is the main fuse that powers all of the electrical on the entire machine. It also powers the electro magnet inside the starter relay, which is the clicking noise you hear when pushing the start button. And all it does when pushing the start button is it connects the battery side post of the relay to the starter power wire post, doing the same thing as jumping the 2 posts together like you did in the video, but without the sparks. If the main fuse is blown, the starter will still turn over by jumping the 2 post together, but the machine will not start, nor will anything on the machine have power. Hopefully this post will help save someone some time while trying to diagnose their machine!

Hey, I got a Yamaha grizzly 700. It starts easy cold but once it gets hot, I don’t wanna start back up. Do you have any idea?

@@lucianbeckham2486 what year is your quad? It could be a few things like: air flow (check your vacuum lines), check for fuel and fuel flow (try loosen the fuel cap), vapor lock maybe, valves may need adjusting. There are a few things to check, just start with the easiest to help narrow down the list. Rule of thumb: Fire,Fuel, and at the right time and you should have a running motor. Unless there is no compression.

@@lucianbeckham2486 when you say “once it gets hot,” you are referring to operating temperature? If so check to make sure your get spark at the plug, fuel from the carb.

[@jjock3239]

The solenoids are crap. Even with a new starter, I am on my third, and it has started acting up. I hammered a piece of copper pipe flat, to use as the bridge between the contacts on the solenoid. I just leave it in the tool box for whenever I have a problem. As soon as I get some time, I am going to figure a way to wire an aftermarket solenoid in to replace the original unit. I am guessing that I have developed a problem with the compression release, because even with a brand new starter, it is having a problem turning the motor over. It starts, but it doesn't sound the same. I have been looking, but have not found anyone else complaining that the compression release is a problem with the Yamaha ATVs. I liked your welding lesson. Yes you can weld with a DC battery for power. That is why I always disconnect the negative lead at the battery..

[@MichaelEd]

Someone needs to make a fail video of Getting the grizzly to set the compression relief would be epic to watch. lol

[@jjock3239]

@@MichaelEd I have a good battery, new starter, and solenoid, on the ATV, and just to confirm my problem is the compression release, I put the voltmeter on the battery again before attempting a start. When pressing the start button, the voltage drops to near zero, and the solenoid just buzzes. I put the booster on the battery, and even then it has difficulty turning the motor over. After many tries, it suddenly started normally, the battery voltage barely dropped, and everything worked perfectly. This confirms that my problem is the compression release cams are stuck in the run position. The fix is going to require that I pull the valve cover to expose the cam gear, and replace the springs on the compression release. I am amazed that I have not seen any videos on this problem. At least I know what I have to do now. Hand starting it with this problem, is not possible. Something would break, probably the rope.

[@lucianbeckham2486]

I tried that I got no spark at all and the key and everything was on. What should I do?

[@MichaelEd]

I would start from the beginning. Check: Battery, proper voltage, connections Battery cables, make sure your getting proper voltage to the other end that connected to relay. Rely, fuses and the your getting proper voltage to it and on the starter cable connection side of it. Starter, if all is good and your getting 12 volts to it, you might need to get it tested. Motor, 🤷‍♂️ just in case, make sure it isn’t locked-up. If your grizzly just started not cranking over and it was running fine before. I’d mainly check battery, relay, and fuses. *I have experience purchasing bad relays before, even though they were need.

[@MichaelEd]

No spark, definitely check ignition fuse first, then spark plug for fire and gap. Spark plug wire for continuity. Ignition coil for fire. Multi-meter can help diagnose.

[@sethweathers3859]

I’ve replaced the battery several times and the thing you replaced in the video and when I hit my electric start on my 2003 grizzly 660 it buzzes until I stop pressing the electric start anything you can think of?

[@MichaelEd]

Seth Weathers can you jump the post on the solenoid to get it to turn over?

[@sethweathers3859]

No they do not turn over

[@MichaelEd]

Seth Weathers so if your not able to jump the solenoid to engage the starter (example giving in the video) then I would test your battery for proper voltage. In my experience anything under 12volts causes starting issues with my 03 660. That buzzing is a clear sign of low voltage or “bad” connections. *Good connection+Good Ground+Good Battery=starter engagement*. Try using a battery booster/Charger. Something that can boost the cranking amps up just so you can try to start it with the electric start button. I’ve been the cheaper route with off-brand,lower cost batteries and found that they do not last long and won’t hold 12v after using them for a few months. I went back to an OEM ATV battery and haven’t had an issue for several years now.

[@sethweathers3859]

Appreciate it man. Come to find out it was the battery

[@MichaelEd]

Hey, I have a 2008 Grizzly 660, the starter relay is going bad, now when I try to jump it, nothing happens, doesn’t try to start at all, any suggestions?

[@MichaelEd]

Raige I would check and test your current battery for proper charge and load. Check for proper voltage in the starter side of the relay. Those relay don’t cost a lot, look it up on Amazon. That’s where I got mine. Check voltage at you push button start. Get your starter tested to make sure it’s not burned up.

[@jeffreydexter1043]

Michael Ed earlier the solenoid would start humming, now nothing at all, I had the battery on charge for a good while, I can’t pull start it, it’s broke, tomorrow I’m gonna have the starter tested, but the good news is I found someone on Facebook selling a parts grizzly, so hopefully I can fix this issue soon.

[@MichaelEd]

Have your battery tested also, and use a volt meter to make sure you are getting 12v to the starter.

That was quite a shocking experience...I'm not getting anything from my start switch...grrrr I just replaced the starter solenoid and it cranks the starter when I jump it. I want to get that switch going the right way...any clues???

[@MichaelEd]

Paul Govensky definitely check all your connections, relay and even though you replaced the solenoid some have loose connections where the fuses are plugged into the solenoid. If your jumping the solenoid and starting your machine, then somewhere in the system you not making a connection to complete the circuit to engage the starter. Jumping the solenoid just bypasses all the other stuff and sends the current straight to the starter.

[@Smalltechguy]

@@MichaelEd Man I had no idea if you replied or not..thanks for replying. I can attach my test leads to the relay and touch the hot side and the starter will turn. I have ordered a new starter switch but the mail is draggin their silly you know what. I did find a bad diode as well.

[@Smalltechguy]

How many wires are going into your relay and where are they attaching to which blade??? Every single video I have watched they go so fast and don't let you see

[@MichaelEd]

Paul Govensky that I am not sure of at this moment with which wires go where from the relay. Have you check for continuity or voltage through the ignition switch to ensure your switch and wires running between the solenoid and relay, and between the relay and the start button? Is your start button bad? Just some ideas. Have you check to ensure your atv has a good electrical ground? I hope these comments help you to find the problem.

CRISTIANO RADEMARCK SOARES MINEIRO I hard that is a common issue on those quads. reasons range from low/weak voltage causing the indicator to fail. also just being a bad batch of electronics. does your grizzly start? does it not turn over at all? check your battery connections, and make sure you have a good quality battery and fully charged. other that that it might be the your dash display. I would definitely start your diagnosis with your battery voltage and connections before ruling out anything else.

CRISTIANO RADEMARCK SOARES MINEIRO From what I have read those displays are non-serviceable. The issue is letting your battery get low and trying to crank it or even letting the battery go dead usually fries the display and you get the E. From what I’ve read this is a common issue and the best way to keep that from happening is to keep your battery on a maintenance charge and if your battery if your grizzly is starting to crank over slowly that would be a good time to service your battery or replace it. to remedy your E on the display you would probably have to get a new display if you have a warranty you may see if that’s covered under your warranty.

Also, check your carburetor to make sure float is not stuck/sticking and your needle seat valve and also check your accelerator diaphragm for rips or tears.

My grizzy 350 2014 model died and want start back I push the start button

[@MichaelEd]

Have you checked your battery?

[@edprince9079]

New battery installed.won't start and the battery gets hot.

[@MichaelEd]

That’s not good. I wonder is something is crossed-up, grounding out or connected backwards.

[@appelmac1]

My positive cable gets hot when I try to start it up. Hot where it runs to the starter solinoid New solinoid

[@MichaelEd]

Are you jumping the solenoid? Check your connections, is the proper gauge battery cable being used? Unless your trying to start it for long periods of time, it’ll get hot after awhile if your trying to start it with out success.

[@appelmac1]

Michael Ed No I am not jumping it yet. Just using the starter button on handle bar. Put new solenoid in and new starter. Still just clicking and hearing starter click

[@appelmac1]

Checked battery. Took to batteries plus bc where I got it. Good battery.

[@appelmac1]

Michael Ed I guess I will try jumping solenoid to check if I got a bad one. It is a 2016 kodiak 700

[@appelmac1]

Michael Ed does it have a compression release when starting that may be failing?

[@edwinortiz6955]

What if it just turn over that all

[@MichaelEd]

Edwin Ortiz if it just turns over and not start? I’d check for spark at your plug and wire. If that’s good, check to make sure your getting fuel.

[@edwinortiz6955]

Michael Ed I tried your method and i leave it there it just turn over

[@MichaelEd]

Edwin Ortiz so which method did you try? Method in video? Method in the reply to your first comment? There are many variables as to why your machine is not starting. What make/model atv are you working on? If you can spin the motor via the electric start button or jumping the starter relay, you’ve got other issues to solve. Have you check your spark plug? Is it getting spark when your trying to crank it? Are you getting fuel to the cylinder? Do you have compression in the cylinder?

[@edwinortiz6955]

I have a grizzly 660 2002 I tried to jump it like you did in the video but when I do that I want to turn on but it doesn’t turn on it also has a new battery

[@MichaelEd]

Edwin Ortiz so when you jump the relay, the starter spins the motor , but does not run, just spinning over without cranking. Correct?

why add music?
