This modification has been tested and works. I think if you decide to do this mod you should install a small waterproof switch so it can be returned to stock configuration. I personally do not want to defeat the limiter as I have riders of various skill levels riding my bike. But I understand the desire to defeat the reverse limiter. With that said.

Here are the wires to jump on a 2007 AC700EFI(Suzuki engine). Just a simple jumper from wire to wire. Fully seal all connections whether butt connector or solder(preferred). Do not ground or disconnect any wire.

On the ECU Module; it is the Gry/Blu wire, (grey with blue tracer) in the 8th position from the right. See the pictures and enlarge to see the numbers.

On the 2WD relay(outside); it is the Wht/Vlt wire, (white with violet tracer) on terminal #85. If you will pull the plastic rivet and lift the relay, looking at the bottom you will see that it is numbered.

Basically you are telling the ECU that you are in a forward gear when in reverse. There is no notice to the ECU that you are in reverse that I can find, only notice to the ECU that you are not in a forward gear when in reverse. That does eliminate the reverse rev limiter. As far as I can tell all other limiters will be operational and the indications on the POD should be ok.

It has been found that the wire colors are different from year to year and maybe even during the model year run.

The blue tracer on the grey wire is on the bottom in the picture.

ETA; Before doing any wiring changes on your quad, or anything, disconnect your battery.
