If you're looking for help fixing your Yamaha ATV, look no further! Our comprehensive Yamaha ATV repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your vehicle.

Make sure the kill switch/run switch is in the “ON” or “RUN” position.  
You’d be surprised how often the solution to an ATV that won’t start is forgetting to turn on the kill switch. 
Also, if your ATV has a tether pull cord style kill switch, make sure it is connected properly.  

Make sure the ATV is in “Park” or Neutral 
Many ATVs are designed not to start when in gear as a safety precaution.  

Make sure the battery is charged 
The battery should read 12,6 – 12,8V. Use a multimeter or a voltmeter to check the voltage. 
If the voltage drops too low, the battery won’t have enough charge to start the bike.  
Charge the battery or replace it if it’s dead. Am easy way to test your battery is by checking the voltage-drop with a multimeter as you try starting the bike. If your fully charged battery drops below 11,5 volts under load (while you crank the starter), it needs to be replaced.  

Check the main fuse 
Most ATVs have a main fuse. Your user manual will help you locate it. 
If your battery is charged, but you still get nothing when turning the key, you may have a blown main fuse. Replace it with the right size fuse and try starting again. 

Make sure the solenoid is getting power 
The solenoid works as a switch that sends a high current to your starter when you push the start button or turn the key. For it to work, you need to make sure it is getting power from the battery. 
The solenoid should make an audible “clicking” sound each time you hit the starter. If it does, you know it is getting power, and the problem is likely with the solenoid itself or possibly the starter. Solenoid and starter issues will be covered later in the post. 
If you do NOT hear a clicking sound, you can use a multimeter or voltmeter to verify that the solenoid is, in fact, not getting power.

My Yamaha is very simple to start and use. We have run it since we were sixteen and the ease of driving has been great. The handling is smooth while still delivering a powerful riding experience. I like that it is a reliable brand that gives me the same great performance every time. I love the power of the engine and the ease of use. It is a great product to own for years to come. I would like to see the brand game more community interaction. They have done everything to make the customers happy and coming back for more. I can trust Yamaha and will be a customer for life.

I purchased this ATV to use at my camp in Pulaski, NY. I use it mostly in my woods for recreation and camp work. It has been perfect. Starts right up, simple to operate and handles the wooded areas in tight places very well. I am very happy and impressed with this machine. One additional Yamaha is an excellent company to deal with after your purchase. I do recommend.

I bought my 2011 Grizzly 700cc (686cc)EPS Hunter Edition, used with 915 miles, bent racks, handlebars. Straightened everything out and now have 4200 miles on. I LOVE IT! 2-rear axles, 2-front wheel bearings and a IAC valve(which I bought the Suzuki ISC valve, Yamaha doesn’t sell one separate of the throttle body). But that’s it. That 708cc motor, I hear, burns a little oil, Subaru motor.

It is top quality brand and it is a very fast ATV. It's also a safe brand. It has a smooth ride and powerful engine. It has lots of great features and it drive very solid. It's important to always be cautious. Come with a warranty for in case something bad happens. It is more easier to learn to ride than others. It is well balanced and I dont feel like I am going to fall or fly off of it. I think they did a great job making it as it is well made and better than most of the other brands of ATVs out on the market today. I can use it for when I go out in the country and ride around at my uncle's farm during the summer days. I would include some more protection features or something of that nature. It doesn't need to be any faster and it is a nice size and not too bulky. Using the ATV depends how much experience you have with riding it. It is very easy to ride much more than riding a bike the first time. You just have to focus and learn.

The features included in the Yamaha ATV are superb. Using the ATV is a smooth process. The engine is powerful but not so powerful that I can't control it. Furthermore, maintenance is easy to keep up. No other brand has these capabilities. The ATV has yet to fail me. I enjoy riding this vehicle and it was well worth the investment. Yamaha gives me the feel as well as the look I'm needing. Furthermore, it has the functions that I need in an ATV. I'm glad I purchased it, and would gladly purchase it again.
