Did a lot of rambling around and cannot find anything on the 500. Found the 400. Since the smaller 400 is a wet clutch, I'm guessing the 500 is also, so your selection of oil needs to be one that supports a wet clutch. The 400 brochure tells you to be sure and not mix additives and odd oils into the system. Lucas makes motorcycle oil compatible with wet clutches (others too, but make sure you check) The 400 used 10 or 20w/40 depending on outside temperature.
I don't think you will be making a serious error following the 400 recommendations.
Here's the link
If you have the front wheel off recently one, the speedometer sensor is easily broken and a common occurrence when the wheel is removed and replaced.
The symptoms are erratic or non-working speedo.
Also, there is a wiring harness under the speedometer. Remove the 3 bolts holding on the speedometer, and carefully lift it up and check to make sure the harness is plugged together tightly.
Sounds like you have a wire that is ALMOST broken or the insulation is worn off and grounding, or turning is pulling a wire loose from a connection. .. this type of problem is HARD to trace down sometimes... good luck
Pull plug hook it to wire and test for spark...place against bare metal and turn motor over,look at plug if u see spark ?? your good there if not try new plug could just be fouled., Then work your way through fuel system....
I assume you rocked it back and forth to try to get it out of gear. Usually there is a lock-out that prevents the starter from operation when it is in gear. I don't know your specific model but you would have to defeat that feature to crank the engine. Not a good idea.
You really have to get it in neutral because even if you got it started you are looking at some other problem with the transmission.
Sounds like something electrical is getting wet. in your shop , or driveway , start quad and run up till it's warm. Then take a spray bottle and spray all electrical connections starting from the bottom and work your way to the top. theres lots of connections on these quads. It's going to take some tome unless you get it to duplicate what it does on the trail. When you find the culprit use Dielectric silicone to water proof the connectors . Good luck . thats about the only way to go about this reapair , it takes patiance and time
