Question help with 2007 grizzly 400 auto

Will low oil level cause motor shutdown? If so is there a reset sequence of some kind... Any help for my dumbass would be appreciated never riding again without checking all fluids DUH....

Ok, not much info to go on. What vehicle is it? Is it even trying to crank? Is the battery good? If you ran the motor and had too little oil in it, it is possible that you may have siezed the piston. I'd need some more information to try to get the right deterimination of the cause and solution to the problem.

Battery is good pulls over not seized I just can't pull hard enough to start it being an automatic can't push start it either....it is a grizzly 400 automatic 4x4 year 2007 it has about 10000 miles on it and they were not easy miles so could be warn out connections and so on just need some advice from Simone who may have had similar issues...

They never made a 400 Grizzly.
You can run with low oil to a point, but if its to low it will cause engine damage. I don't think they have a auto shut down when the oil is to low like a generator.
10,000 miles is a lot of riding. Our 1997 Sportsman 500 only has 8000 and we bought that one new.

Air cooled engines tend to seize the piston and small end bush when short of oil. They free off once the motor has cooled but compression will be lower and the gudgeon pin will probably still be tight. If compression is low enough the engine won’t start. I’ve rebuilt at least a dozen engines where the owner has come in with the bike saying “it ran out of fuel and wouldn’t re-start” or “it just stopped” when the problem has been no oil.
