Gear selector issue

So I have a 2015 700 the other day I got on the four wheeler and when I put it in Neutral from High or low the selector lever is in the neutral slot but the readout on the cluster panel says its in High. If I give it some gas sure enough I can drive in Neutral.
Now if I move the selector between N and R the read out on the cluster will go to neutral and I can then at that point put the lever back into the neutral slot and the 4 wheeler is now in neutral.
If I try to put in in neutral from reverse or park it will engage neutral like normal. So my issue is happening when I’m going from a forward drive gear to neutral. Does anybody know what could be going wrong and how to fix it. Thank you. Hopefully you all can make out the pictures

Frustrated by local trail

Any one else frustrated by their local trail system? The one closest to me, about 25 ~ 30 minutes away, constantly closes due to rain. Every time it rains a little bit he posts that they will be closed and then remain closed for a day or two depending on how much rain we got. I don’t mind rain, water, or mud.

And then in the winter time they close the trails. I prefer to ride more in the fall and winter than I do in the summer. At my house in my own woods it’s just easier to get around than in the summer when everything is grown up and there’s a spider web every 2 feet to run through.

This is a camp ground also, and the guy started making the trails a few years ago. It seems that he is just a bit too particular about them. He also posts that he doesn’t want any one riding with mud tires or aggressive tires. I don’t have to worry about that since I have my stock Carlisles, but I know most people like to change the tires out first thing to some big mud tires.

1987 350 fourtrax electrical

I recently made a purchase of an ’87 Honda 350 fourtrx, it turns over has good compression, and has spark intake is not plugged, the issue is no fuel, because the pump is not running. In fact the control head does not light up at all either I’ve been testing for several hours tracing wires, the only wore that is hot off the key switch other then power going to it is a pink wire which goes to an odd thing on the handle bars I’m unsure what it is. But other then that nothing powers up, all fuses have power going through them I’m curious about the fuel relay, but I am unsure how to test the relay because it is not a standard relay at least from what I am used too. Maybe also the kill switch? Not sure how to test this either as I have no wiring diagrams. Any advice, testing know how of any kind related to this Honda system would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Cody

Dry bearing sound from engine

Hey this is my first post and actual real first problem with my grizzly. Its a 2009 550FI with 600hrs & 6200miles on it. I bought it new and have only done general maintenance(oil changes, clean air filter & greasing IRS) minus cleaning and re-greasing the cvt since its not in the manual i didnt know it needed serviced. That said 2 weeks ago i was out checking out cows in the pasture and crossed the creek like I’ve done hundreds of times didnt notice any issues until heading down the road at close to top speed and i noticed a new noise coming from the engine. It started pretty quiet and every once in while acted like the belt slipped/engine sputter and i lost power. I sent an engine oil sample to the lab results came back normal for my age machine. But now after riding a couple more days the noise is constant and gets louder when reving the throttle. I thought it might be the wet clutch so i removed all parts and covers to get to it but the pads look really good and no grooves in the housing, the oil and pads dont have and indication of the pads slipping and burning. All bearings i have inspected so far seem real good not much play at all. Question is now what? Thanks for any help I can get.
