Spark issues..... has really good spark when you first hit the start button and then there’s nothing for about 2-3 seconds what can it be

Is your batter fully charged?? That's the first thing to check.
Is battery new or older.
Has bike been sitting or used often?

Brand new battery , spark plug and spark plug cap

It was running this winter and when I tired starting it this spring it won’t start

The problem is that there could be several issues. It's always smart to start with the most simple causes of the problem and go from there or you could end up spending a bunch of money needlessly.

Okay, you said the battery is new. Are you positive it is fully charged?? Put in on a trickle charger to be sure. New batteries are not always fully charged.

Recheck your battery connections. Use a wire brush to clean the connectors if needed.

Did you install a NGK spark plug? If not, you need to.

Check for a loose connection at the PCM/ECM. I think it's gray in color and is located forward of the seat.

Check the starter motor cable connection. Disconnect it, clean and reconnect.

Since it seems to be dropping voltage it's not likely, but be sure your kill switch if OFF. LOL

Cleaned all the posts off unplugged the ECM plugged it all back in and still nothing ... I tried the ecm from the broke down quad on a different quad it runs with it I tired the coil and cap as well they all work on a different quad ....can it be a stator issue ???

Does it have a hand start on it.. Wondering if the flywheel bolt wasn't torqued and it has sheered the key.


I have way to much experience on that pull starter assembly and rear crank bearing, don't ask.

 

[FraserS]

It does have a pull cord on this unit ....

 

[FraserS]

Wouldn’t you think It would have sheared off awhile ago .. it has 9500km on it

 

[rustynut2]

Remove the hand crank and see if the adapter assembly is loose on the back of the flywheel. You might need to remove the air box.

This is just my guess


I will tell you my story if you find this to be the problem, its embarrassing.....

The stator doesn't tell the engine when to spark. It's the crank position sensor that does that. But, the stator is easy enough to check with a multi-meter. There are YouTube videos that will show you how.

If I am wrong about the above info, someone will correct me.

You still need to be sure that your battery is properly charged. And, you need to check it with a multi-meter. You said that the bike tries to start with the first crank and then the starter slows down and there is a delay for 2-3 seconds. You've ruled out the ECM and the coil, battery (maybe) and spark plug (if it's a NGK and not a cheap wally-world plug).

Are you able to pull start it??

Here's a link to a 2014 service manual. Hopefully, it will help you with the basics of checking all your wiring and other parts.

Thanks for all the advise I fixed the problem .... replaced the stator and working fine

 

[GirlsRideToo]

Hooray! Thanks for letting us know. Your posts will be helpful to others.

Happy Trails.

Yes that helps me because I own one too. I am concerned that the stator failed so soon tho. Any ideas..........did it overheat?

Good work on the repair job. Thanks for the update
