Anyone doing it?
What should I do? no Forward no reverse
Maintenance: Change oil, differential and gear levels are good and maintained. Use premium gas
1. Ride less than 25 hours a year.
2. 2015 gear would not go in reverse unless engine was warmed up and run in neutral for 10 minutes.
3. Check all fluids and and nothing was low.
4. Rode at an quad park outing this July for 6 hours everything worked. Except for when first started wouldn’t go in reverse until warmed up.
5. Twice the quad got buried in a water/mud ditch. Stalled out but pulled out and started up. Cleaned air filter at camp and ran great.
6. Rode in September for 20 minutes to keep battery charged. No problem.
7. Now it wont go in drive or reverse. Tried in manual shift and also in 4 wheel drive. Nothing.
8. I can do basic repairs but pulling gears and transmission way over my head.
9. It has 132 hours and 480 miles on it.
10. The oil light comes on to change for maintenance.
What should I do? If it cost me $500 or $1,000 to repair. I will have to turn around and sell it to pay off my debt.
Offset question
Thanks in advance.
Sportsman 400 limiter issue
While I was cleaning all the connections, I noticed that the black wire running to the rev limiter (mounted right above the CDI), and a solid green wire was disconnected. So I connected them on the board where they are supposed to go. Then i started the ATV and it idled rough. When I press the throttle, carb sounded as though it was getting too much air and hesitated and acted as though it wanted to die. If I pressed the throttle and left it pressed, the engine would die.
So I disconnected the black wire running to the CDI from the circuit board, and started the engine, and it runs perfect. Press the throttle and it revs perfect. I thought the limiter was just that, a limiter. So why would it affect the engine in this way? For now I will just leave t disconnected as the limiter is not a vital part, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this problem before.
Now to the green wire. When the green wire is connected to the circuit board, the reverse indicator is always on no matter what gear it is in. When i disconnect the green wire, the reverse indicator goes out and only comes on when it is in neutral. using a meter on the reverse indicator terminals, when the green wire is connected, the indicator is getting 6 volts constant in all gears, and 12V when shifted into reverse. When the green wire is disconnected, the indicator is getting 0 volts constant and 12V when shifted into reverse. anyone seen this before?
Goggles!??
Was just wanting to get everyone’s recommendations for snowy weather riding goggles?
