Ds450 Won't Start :/

I've been reading about relay issues on the 08 model, i'm not too sure if my problem is the same but here it goes, after a whole weekend or riding with no problems tonight after riding to a cool new spot with friends the quad was perfect, we stop and i turned my switch off, when the time to ride came everything was fine but i dint get to hear the little injector going on, the bike won't start and i'm pretty sure its that fuel pump not going on, starter motor turns and everything else works just fine, could it be the relays? if so where would i find them in the quad? and where would i be able to buy them?!

yeah could be the relays, you can get them at any car parts stores i.e.: napa, checker, auto zone. on the quad you will find them in front on the steering stem. remove the front plastic and they are obvious once the plastic is off.

Thanks! i will be getting that done in the morning, hopefully that's it. Thanks again!

its funny, same time every year everyones relays start going out.

[roamy]

Is this something normal? and what could be done so it wont happen again? if thats even possible lol

[hcomras]

race harness from BCS eliminates the relays, and yes it is normal, the relays last for about a year (assuming you ride about once a month or more). the ones at the auto parts store come with a lifetime warrenty, so buy 3 and when one blows, exchange it for a new one for free!

Thank you guys for all the heads up! i will be trying to replace them tomorow!

[roamy]

went out to autozone and got the relay's, plug them in and she is back to normal

Ya it sucks but its such a is easy fix you cant really get mad about i. take a extra one in a ziplock bag and leave it in the toolbag area.
