The gear cogs might have moved or damaged. Better get a repairman to have a look at it.

SOURCE: yamaha big bear no spark

I'm not familiar with all quads and all the kill switch locations. Does it have a tip-over kill switch? Is it working? Is the quad in neutral? Is the neutral light on? Many engines will not spark if the neutral light is not on. Are the headlights off when starting?

How good is your battery? A low battery can kill spark. Test for spark by grounding the threads of the plug against the cylinder. Have a friend kick the bike while you watch for spark. Assuming no spark, then check all the kill switches with an Ohmmeter to be sure each switch is working properly. Sometimes a switch goes bad. Try disconnecting all kill switches then check spark.

Check the wiring harness, even under the gas tank and seat. Are all the connectors clean and with a tight connection? Any abraded wires? Check the ignition switch also. The switch can go bad as well. Are the flywheel coils good > is the battery getting a charge?

Still no spark? If CDI then get it checked.
If points then file or replace them along with a new condensor and reset the gap then time the engine. >> I hope this helps.

SOURCE: no front brakes on 95 yamaha big bear atv

gravity bleed. make sure fluid is always full. crack open the bleeder screw and let the brake fluid drip until no bubbles. Then close bleeder top off fluid and replace cap. Now, pull the brake handle. If there is no pressure or has bleed down, the master cylinder is kaput.

SOURCE: 1986 yamaha big bear 350 cc will shift up but will

Its most likely to be the external part of the shift mechanism & therefore it would not need the transmission stripped
It is probably just 1 of the springs on the shift claw that is broken - this explains why it only shifts 1 way

Ride safe

4-wheeler is stuck in reverse. If I hit the rod with a wrench, it pops it out of reverse. The part is bent but I do not know what the name of the part is?

You don't know the name of the part, we have NO clue what 4 wheeler you have! You posted to Cars and Trucks, Jeep Cherokee, Ford F-350, or in the wrong category, an ATV, Yamaha Big Bear, Kawasaki Brute, Chinese Tao Tao?

All questions need full 'year make model'. Click comment, let me know. The lever would be a gear lever, or gear linkage.

Yamaha Big Bear 400 is running rich, it runs good at high speed but loads up at idle. Not sure where the mixture screw is located on the carburetor? It's a Mikuni BSR33.

Mikuni tuning in the link. The screw is under the intake bell.

Shifter moves on big bear 350 but quad wont reverse now it goes forwards

for some reason you are not getting into reverse , there is no real reason it should stay in forward gears unless there is someting wrong with the shifter itself being in the wrong position this can happen take it off and reposition it and make sure your clutch is disengauging to shift gears , will it go into all gears or just 1 forward , ck into that and be a little more specific on the problem ,good luck
