Look where your wiring goes into the side of the motor,,,if the neutral light and reverse light are coming on at the same time the there are some ***** wires somewhere touching,,i had 300ex that had the same issue almost only the reverse light wire was acting like a revelimiter when you would ride it in forward gears
It sounds like you need to adjust the shift lever or move it in an out of gear while holding the starter switch on. this will tell you it's the lever not the switch.
If it is a 2 stroke pull the carb off and look at the reeds u might have a broke reed
Testimonial: "Its doesn'thave reed valves, its self oilier but its bbeen disconnected since I had it I just mix it my self but ya the carb just fits right on jug with the a rubber tube my 95 had reeds though thanks for trying"

Lousy bulbs or poor voltage regulation (too high voltage will burn out incandescent lamps especially when you factor in all the bumps and vibrations ). Maybe you can special bulbs designed to withstand the conditions presented by your ATV.
If engine does not turn over you need to see if the starter is getting power and if it is any good. Also look for an inline safety switch for the starter that may be stuck in the open position and not allowing the electricity to enter the starter motor.
These machines depend on a good ground. Make sure your ground connections are all clean and tight.... especially the ground wire from the battery to the frame. I recommend removing the battery terminal wires and cleaning the terminals... Also the negative cable that bolts to the frame... remove the bolt and sand the terminal that bolts to the frame. Check for in-line fuses... There is one in-line fuse near the battery!
