Check for a switch that lets the ATV know when it is in reverse. It is probably mounted on the shift linkage. Make sure it is not stuck or being activated even when the machine is not in reverse. Also, have the battery load tested to see if it is still good.

well i looked for that switch but it was not on the shifter linkage any ideas were to look it does not do it in low range and you have to go thru high to get into low its got me puzzled

[DirtDemon]

You are right, it isn't on the linkage, it is mounted on the outside of the case. It should be close to where the shaft that connects to the shift linkage. I think it will be on the right hand side. If you take the switch off, you will see a pin and spring that go into the shift shaft, they are what actually move the switch. Be careful if you remove the switch, the pin and spring will probably fall out. I don't know if this switch has anything to do with reverse though. But it is worth a look to make sure, the gasket is an o-ring, so it should be ok to re-use, just make sure everything is clean.

after looking at the wireing harness post wounder what the chance of a couple diode when out ? i will pull the switch and look at it first i feel it has almost got to be electrical

[bbqpig]

after looking do i have to pull the whole side of the trans off to get to the switch dirt demon is talkinf about thats the way it looks there is a electric type plug down low on the house in fact it on the right side of the oil fill

[DirtDemon]

I think it is on the outside of the case, it may be the plug you are talking about by the oil fill. It should have a couple of screws on either side of it. If it is behind a side cover, or in the case, there will be wires going in to it somewhere.

You can switch the diodes out with another in the fuse box to see if one is bad.

The overide feature is exclusively for reverse. There is a way you can bypass the override switch if you are intrested but you should probally find the cause of your problem first.

hey swapcat im definetly interested in bypassing the reverse override any help will be appreciated i ride an 08 700efi im thinkin 07 was the same?

The best would be to use an aftermarket CDI the other way would be to jump the wires as they did here. Be careful though because they change from year to year and some of a newer year are leftovers. Reverse over ride on a 700
