Where to find parts?

[Sandmannd]

I have a 92 Yamaha Grizzly 450. It needs a new starter and a recoil (the recoil was broke when I got it). Is there a place to find used parts fairly inexpensive or even new parts? I haven't been able to find them.

If you're looking for used parts, Sportwheels in Jordan might have something.

Otherwise your local Yamaha dealership would be the best place.

[harvey lee]

I would agree that Sportwheels would be a good one to check.

Are you sure the starter is shot, and doesn't just need brushes?

[jltimm]

They never made a Grizzly 450 in 92?

[Dave S]

I think Sandman meant either a Kodiak or Big Bear.

or a moto4 350

I wouldn't know, I'm as mechanically inclined as a nat. I can do the oil changes on it, change the batter, spark plugs, other simple things. Learning more as I go as having a boat and wheeler is teaching me to fix these things. How would I know that? It doesn't crank at all, no sound nothing, push the start button and there is nothing there.

Lep is correct, I meant a Kodiak, sorry about that. Me not so smrat sometimes.

Mohawk Salvage, Hibbing MN. They should be on the net.

Kodiak 400. Do you know if the battery has juice? It has a backup recoil starter correct? Have you tried to jump start it?

[Sandmannd]

Yea, it's a new battery. The lights do come on when I turn them on. The recoil is busted on it so that's another part I need. I haven't tried to jump it yet. Would you do that the same as you do a car?

[jltimm]

If it's got a good battery that's fully charged I don't think jumping it would do anything. Is the key, and the run button both in the on position? Have you looked to see if the ignition wires are intact? I don't know if there's anyway to jump a cylinoid (spell?) on an atv?

[Bandit]

If it is the brushes, a couple taps on the starter should seat them on the armature enough to get you going a few more times. Since you don't have anything at all happen when you hit the starter button, I think I would look more at the solinoid. Also make sure your battery is charged, connections tight and not corroded. You shoulb be able to jump around the solinoid with a screwdriver or heavy wire and see if your starter will turn. If it does, you have a good starter, battery, cables, and a bad switch or solinoid.
