For anyone who happens to land here from google - HELLO FROM THE YEAR 2021! Figured it out, at least I think I did. Went back with a fresh set of eyes this morning and realized I had the shifter linkage (tie-rod looking piece) swiveled around 180 at the end that attaches to the shifter spline on the bike. Pulled it off and re-installed it correctly and the shifter now works, albeit the lever itself is sloppy as all hell. Re-adjusted the clutch according to the LT160E manual's procedure, and it all feels right now. Going to test fit a few short throw dirtbike shift levers on it and see how they feel.

The Solution - Finally gave up and took the quad in to the dealer. As I had drained the brake fluid completely a large air-lock formed. All that was required was to drain again and start filling from the rear calliper, front left calliper and then front right. Slightly embarrassing but it did provide an opportunity to learn something new, apparently that’s good for us. Thanks again Dave for you help.
