Hi there
It sounds like its the stoplight switch and so see if your stoplights work when ign is on and the brake is applied if not working get new switch if the other one is no good from where you got the bike from.
check for a fuse that's going to be close to the starter solenoid. next take a piece of metal like an old screw driver and jump the 2 posts on the solenoid to see if it cranks. if nothing happens your either going to have a bad connection or a bad starter. if it does crank then I would look at your start switch or ignition switch. just start chasing wires and making sure there all good, theres nothing fun abut chasing electrical problems so take your time and crack a beer.
check for a micro switch under the seat, on the foot brake system
indicates that by starting when pulling the wire you are breaking a ground circuit that stops it from working
From the way you have described it, I would say that you've got a bad electrical connection in either the ignition switch, the kill switch, or in one (or more) of the plugs that connect the various ignition components to the wire harness.
Try spraying some electrical contact cleaner (available at RadioShack) in the kill switch and in the ignition switch contacts (if accessible). Also check all of the wire harness electrical connectors for corrosion - especially if your ATV has been (as most are) operated in wet conditions. Unplug each one, clean any corrosion from the connectors, and re-connect. Carefully tighten loose connectors with pliers before re-connecting. Do the same thing where the harness ground attaches to the vehicle chassis.
