bypassing the push button starter on an atv

quick video showing how you can bypass a bad push button atv staring system just by using a simple toggle switch!

[@01kporter]

I did the same thing but used a door bell. That way you don't have to remember to turn it of or bumping it on while riding. Just food for thought. Nice video.

[@mrjaybennett80]

Nice

[@nikolasryghrren3608]

I have a better idea, since the relay is there for a reason. A relay is an electromagnetic switch used for controlling high amperage circuits (like power to the startmotor) with a low amperage input (like the brake switch and start switch together to start the engine). Since you bypassed the relay, your new start circut gets hot. Your problem is probably either: 1. Faulty relay, which is easily diagnosed and cheap to replace. jump a cable from power inn on the relay to the power out to the start engine (this is usually the 2 bigges cables on the relay, and the colors is usually, red/red, red/black or black/black. If the start motor turns the relay works. 2. Check if your start button gets power when you press the brake. If not run a wire straight to the battery from the cable that came from the brakes and inn to your start switch. From now on you dont have to hold the brakes for it to start. 3. Now check if your startrelay recives power when you press the start button with a cheap circuit-tester light. Then measure the cable that goes from your start button and inn to the relay, and make sure it recieves power when you use the start button. 4. If you have done the following and the relay neither makes a small "clicking sound" nor do the start engine recieve power, you know it is a grounding problem. Run a wire from your black terminal on the battery to the "probably green/yellow or black" cable that goes out of your relay. your colours on the ground cable may vary so make sure you know which cable is which on your start relay. 5. Now hit the start button again and I promise you that your engine will start to turn. Usually one of the first ting you do is testing your startmotor, but since you showed me that yours work i didnt include testing it as an option. I know that this would be much easier to test with a voltmeter and testing for stuff like continuity, but I am bad at using one and understanding what I am testing. this is a much more logical way to test it for someone who is handy and dont know how to use more advanced testing equipment.

[@ps3boss98]

Nikolas Rygh Røren My foreman does the same thing. When i press the start button i dont hear a click noise and nothing happens. The way i start the foreman is by touching metal on the relay. What do i need to replace?!

[@landonroiel6695]

Finally someone who speaks English. Yes that's the proper way. rigging up a short cut will not solve your problem in the long run. You always want to do it the right way.

[@davidarrieta329]

This answer sounds the best option but it is kind of theoretical but I wish I could see something like that in a video Actually I’m trying to fix my atv like that I’m very handy but I don’t want to make any mistakes and get disappointed 😅

[@CROW-wu4gu]

Just installed new bypass switch and everything works great!!! Saved me lots of $$$ and headache!! Your video is priceless!!

[@thomas-gj7pp]

Funny how you ended up on this video today like me and the video is 10 years old

[@frivolouscody]

Best video I found for what im trying to do. wish me luck

[@josephmedeiros8311]

FYI you should use a momentary switch.

[@braydensanders3029]

i need some help i’m 13 and i’m taking it up to myself and youtube yo fix my bike and i don’t want to mess anything up and i have no idea what to do to not mess up the wire someone help

[@lamboking8able]

This comment is a year old. so sorry for anyone being late. did you find out how to do it?

[@nunyah_4364]

love it how he says how his quad is so small and terrible yet its probably the only quad he owns

[@jaamzw]

nice that is working good, but why not a momentary push button instead of a toggle?

[@johnpaladino8611]

Great Video, Thank You! Can you take the wires from the push button to connect to your switch or do you need to run wires from and to your starter and battery?

[@lindenfeldars]

Is the thick red striped wire that is also runs into the starter with your wire. is the other end of that connected to the solenoid, because im not entirely sure where it should be comming from on mine.

[@justrigittutorials]

basically what i did is i attached a wire in the same spot where the thick red wire is thats connected to the starter using a ring terminal that wire then went to one post on my switch the other post from the switch goes to a fuse or fuse holder from there it goes straight to the batterys positive terminal if the switch is grounded it will say (ground) just connect it to a solid piece of metal on the atvs frame or even the negative post of the battery if you want to so when the switch is flipped you will get a light and the starter will turn the engine over but remember that the on switch needs to be to the on position as does the key or the engine will turn over but never start as there is no power going to the coil

[@michaelosullivan8288]

Double check your voltages and try charged your battery up till it's fully charged then put battery back in then it will start up with no hassle as that's how I got my quad up running now there no more buzzing sound and if there's a buzzing sound it's trying to tell you charged your battery for sure

[@JJ-dm9rs]

I have the same problem on my daughter's 150cc I'm actually looking for ways to bypass that push button start. It gets really annoying trying to start it

[@antoniskonstantakis5474]

Wrong switch friend, use a push release button and don't by-pass the relay or you will burn the harness ,there are two wires that give command to the relay the two thin ones,find which one is your hot wire and thats where you can connect your button...good luck

[@SpeediiEddie]

I've been waiting to do this to my motorcycle, I want to eliminate the kill/run switch entirely. Since its in an all in one control, the kill/run and start switch are all one piece, how do I go about making sure the kill switch is always on the run/on position and not on the off/kill position before wiring it this way. I'm going to wire and mount my start toggle switch right below or next to my key ignition switch or somewhere hidden from plain sight

[@dtalbot16]

How did you wire your ignition/key ? My 110cc wiring is all messed up , and I can get it to crank with the toggle switch, but I need to get spark to the plug, and be able to shut it off using the key. How might I go about doing that ? Thanks

[@thatboostedgt1872]

i know this is a long time ago, but i have a chinese 150cc atv the dude cut the key ignition wires and used a 16 gauge speaker wire to the stator solenoid and it starts but cant keep an idle and some times it'll do what you showed in your video of just cranking over do you think it could work if i did what you did?

[@RJohnsonJr83]

Was thinking about just hooking up a push button at the start solenoid and bypassing/jumping it there, kinda like how u use a screw driver to jump it. Any thoughts?

[@tatchell95]

Roger Johnson I am thinking the same thing? Did you ever do this?

[@Krispysimpson11]

I got a new battery for my sons 125 and when I hook up the positive and negative to the battery the 4 for wheeler starts and try’s to run with no keys in it or whitout ya actually starting it. Can u please help

[@wickerman9569]

It works but would have been easier to clean the contacts on the switch

[@SirDrakeNewcanon]

Or get a new solenoid too.

[@arberfilms5998]

At 0:37 he said he had cleaned the contacts but it didn’t work for a while after.

[@lenovo859]

I have the same issue replace solenoid and clean switch it work but then stop working so im not sure if it’s the starter switch wanna replace it

[@wickerman9569]

@@lenovo859 I got ride of mine a few years ago, but it had that remote kill switch on it. I had to take that off of it and ran fine when I got rid of it. Just no more remote kill switch on it.

[@its_reckoning6667]

how is the orginal one ganna work if you cut the wires and wire them up to the switch look I'm 14 years old i start up my yamaha rhino 700 with wires tie up the yellow and black wires together and just the start up wires just make them touch other

[@lonnienoland2921]

He is jumping the solonoid,with those thick wires running all the way up to his handlebars. Its not the safest way, for sure, but it works.

[@hardipk5]

Anyone know how many amps a typical 100-150cc Chinese quad starter takes, previous owner did this i want to install a relay.

[@MegaMikeyyyy]

Was there a reason that you didn't wire new switch to starter button wires??

[@rufuscarroll8526]

Hello I have a Chinese 125 four wheeler my son was riding it he hit the kill button and turn the four wheeler off no the four wheeler does not want to start back up I bought a new solenoid but it’s just keep clicking when I try to start it up can you please assist me

[@mgjohnson82]

Smart kid, thanks for the help!

[@andyslawnsheretoserveyou2041]

Nice video I like it I do have a question I have a 110 four wheeler that has compression Spark and fuel but will not run have you ever ran into that any information would be helpful thanks

[@kingbibble7546]

Try turning the key to the on position then connect a wire to the negative side of your battery touch that wire to the frame where there is bare metal and touch the positive terminal of the battery to the post on the solenoid that is going to the starter it by passes all of these steps to hook up a switch down side is the extra work to start it each time you want to ride

[@LucasLorenzo-cl2ij]

I have a 2012 kymco mxu 375 and the start button doesn't work

[@juanmoreno5187]

Aye bro so the red goes to the battery and where does the only wire go to to the. Starter but where on the starter tho

[@MrGeetarist]

I have a baja 150 with the same problem , thanks for your video , now i can fix my quad , any ideas how to make the lousy suspension that baja has any better ?

[@justrigittutorials]

sorry no ideas here about that just kind of adding useful accessories the the 90cc right now but if i ever decide to mess with the suspension i will put a tutorial up on it

[@fernandoluna9293]

I'm having the same problem with a baja 125 I'm trying to connect the starter and the push button is not turning it over

[@n1tr145]

My sister has the same quad! But hers is purple

[@lindenfeldars]

I have it all wired up and when I flip to start it, It cranks but not fast enough for it to turn over... any sugguestions?

[@noahwilliams27w46]

Try to charge your battery it's probably pretty low

[@camogie14]

hi thinking of doin this did u completly take out the original wier from the starter or join the new and original 1 ??

[@antonejohnson3723]

Right were a brake fluid bubble should be, that screw in

[@calebburforddunton6455]

If you have a 150cc sunl atv how do you reg a push button if a gut bought off

[@thabaningonyama9694]

Does it start if your engine switch is on the off position

Hey buddy I like your video I have a quick question on a Suzuki lt 50cc electric starter I put a new battery and don'ts start what should be the problem?

[@theragingslushy]

Henry Alexander Rivas is it in gear, is the fuse blown, bad starter, bad contact, is key on,bad battery

[@Jestr86]

my atv wont run, yellow start button and red button are broken anyway to by pass all that ?

[@dtalbot16]

Now I have spark to the plug with the key on or off.. how do I turn the key into the kill switch ? I need it to start with the toggle switch and then stay running when I shut the toggle switch off. But the toggle switch is now the start and the kill for the engine. :( HELP !!

[@landonroiel6695]

wtf lol

[@lindenfeldars]

Im thinking about doing this with my atv. What kind of toggle swtich did you use, and where did you get it from?

[@justrigittutorials]

its just a simple on off switch with an extra ground if it is illuminated got it at autozone for like 4 bucks

[@shortie8625]

My hubby did that to his and nothing happen he has a 110cc sunl ATV what did he do wrong

[@JorgeHernandez-pt5wc]

yo I am trying to do that but my atv still won't start what can it be and it doesn't turn over for the started

[@theragingslushy]

Jorge Hernandez is your starter bad, is your fuse blown, bad contact, broken solinoid, bad battery, suzuki, is it in gear, is clutch not held in? numerous but simple fixes might be the cause

[@exotichabits3624]

thanks a LOT this way VERY helpful

[@mazpr2025]

The only thing is use a toggle switch instead of a regular on/off switch.

[@antonejohnson3723]

that screw in piece inside the brake fluid part, where did you find it or get it

[@Voartist]

Isn't that the neutral switch so that the engine won't start unless it's in neutral. I replaced mine and old came out of the hole. I didn't know they'd work in oil. But all it is is a switch that's closed by the transmission when it's in neutral. I ordered mine from Amazon, $8.00 and they sent it in an 11x14 plastic envelope. It's only and 1.5" long and .5" wide. Kind of overkill on the packing but I thought it was funny.

How about fixing stuff the right way? People always want to half ass stuff. Love the comment "make sure to cut off the switch or it will burn it up" how about it will burn up the starter. Fix the mess right and you won't have to worry about it burning up the starter or the rigged up toggle switch
