Anyone know why this happens, happens time to time, unless i hold the override button than all is fine. Engine completely dies, any thoughts?
thanks in advance

 

The Reverse limiter box is probably bad. Unhook the black wire and it will stop doing that. It will also haul a$$ in reverse so be carefull.

 

if its fine when the button is pushed, then the limiter switch is bad like harley said.

 

can you point to where it is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] thanks for all your help, finally getting rid of these old girls since a new 800 is in the garage [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i looked in the handle bar controls and the gear selector wires and none of them are black, is it somewhere else or possibly a different color?
thanks again

 

it should be mounted to the tranny.

It's not on the tranny. Take the front rack and cover off. There is a regualator and the other is the limiter. The limiter should have a black, green, yellow and white wire(if memory serves) Remove the black wire, tape it up so it ccan't ground out and put it back together.
