Had a big ride yesterday–nine quads–to clean up a section of rugged rangeland–check drainages and fence. the ES has 7000 miles and been working flawlessly for the last three years and suddenly during the ride stopped working. I can manually shift it with the bar and the dash shows gear position no prob. So may need a battery (going on four years old) or possibly the shift motor?
Anyway she’s going in the shop.

Agreed, start with the battery.

good deal. something about the es models, they must have a good battery to work right. i'll never own a es model, way to much trouble with them, manual shift is where I sit..lol. just look on CL's, see how many es models are up for sale, compared to manual shift models.
