Some 1 please help me i have a huge problem with the 400ex

[JR3]

OK i started up the 400 then shut it offf and then it would not start at all not even clicking noises and all my connections are strong so im lost.

[key4202003]

put yer batt on a charge, NEED MORE INFO:huh

[JR3]

It is not the battery i tryed.

[quad2xtreme]

Did you check the fuse in the plastic case right beside the battery?

[JR3]

Man totally slipped my mind i was just not thhinkin i dont know how to get the fuse cover off ive never had to change the fuse

[Hondadudeehhhh]

you just click the snappy thing back and pull out. for a small task its actually a pain in the ol arse :chinese:

[400exrider0004]

Hondadudeehhhh wat kind of graphics do u have on your quad. It looks like you have some in your picture on the side. If you do have graphics could you post some pics. They look like the kind i want.

[chucked]

turn the key clockwise about 30 degrees

[bakeen]

When you turn the key on does the light turn on? Kill switch is set to on? Its probably something simple if it was running and you didn't do anything to it.

[johnnydufus]

i have the same exact problem and i cant find where it messed up. can anyone help us?

edit: i replaced the fuse with a new one and it started turning over but it wouldn't fire up

i have no spark, i dunno what to do?

haha that would be pretty bad if that was the problem

[JR3]

ok well i went over all connections cleaned them it will start wen u use a jump pack. but wen u charge the battery it still will just do 1 click then nothing so now im think starter relay is bad.

[JR3]

and also the battery charger said the battery was 100% charged

[underpowered]

try the starter cylonoid. turn the key on, and cross up the terminals with a screwdriver. i used to have the same problem with my old 300ex. went through about 4 cylonoids in the 2 years i had it.

no graphics on my quad, not even stock. YOu may have been mistaking my helmet for a graphics kit :confused: Or you could have been talking about my totally sweet CVboyz sticker on the front :cool:
A kit to check out that you may like is hbomb films or see if akraix comes out with some ex graphics. Back on topic

JR3 try a new fuse because i blow fuses on my ex everytime i turn the lights on. They are cheap and i bet thats what your problem is. Just give it a try. Or you could just say screw it and start her up the old school way by running with it really fast down a drive way or something and putting it in first :blah:

[400exrider0004]

thanks Hondadudeehhhh

[JR3]

I doubt that

[quad2xtreme]

If it will start with a battery pack or a set of jumper cables then your battery is toast.

[bakeen]

Sounds to me like the battery is also dead. At least take your battery somewhere and get it tested. I know your charger said it was full but all the symptoms of the problem point to the battery being dead. If I were you I'd just go get a new battery.

[key4202003]

what do you doubt up-chucked??

I pulled my 4 wheeler around about 2 miles trying to start it when I first got it, and it didnt stretch the chain. and on my old warrior the battery was almost 8 years old and still working when I sold it.

[key4202003]

lucky with the batt, prob cause you rode it often and didnt give it a chance to settle, corode, and freeze, also try doing it repedaly down a 30 ft hill over and over, the sudden tencion on the chain causes it to streach fast, just what ive found out, but everyone situation varys ;)

I have an RK chain, cant remember the details...

Wow this dude just doesn't want help.
