Update on my 400 Rancher problem

Preload? I guess you just mean that testing procedure diagram you posted right?

Oh and my atv was doing this before we took it to honda and the serviceman said that it was some connection that was corroded or dirty or something like that and he cleaned it. It seemed to fix that problem but it's started doing it again.

Yes it did that once. It wouldn't start from me shaking it so I squeezed the brake kinda hard and it registered as in neutral.

So that's the nuetral thing, but if he fixed that and cleaned it then how can that plug still be the cause of it not hitting the high gears?

Actually the first problem that showed itself was the lack of speed. Then we took it to yamaha, they did a clutch rebuild, and we got it back. I was trying to crank it one day and it wouldn't go into nuetral. After that it sat for two years. We took it to Honda, they cleaned the carb and gaslines and all of that to get it running, and cleaned that plug. They said that the plug was what was causing the problem. (it didn't fix the lack of gear change) but made it register as in N. Now both problems are back again.

So after the paint is faded, the metal more rusted, and about $800 spent, we're back where we started.:icon_cussing:

my point is that it wouldn't shift even before the dealer touched it.

apparently everyone is. I have an 06 Bombardier 650 as well, and it's battery is gone so it's been sitting a while. If i were to try and start it with the bad gas in it would it make a bigger problem?

Ok I imagined that answer. I realy just want to fix my 650 and sell the 400.
