A question for you......Reverse limiter override and Diff lock speed limiter. Would it be possible to wire both limiters into the same handlebar mounted momentary interrupt switch (like on silverbears machine) Kind of a do-all switch? Just curious to see if I could make me a wholly sh%t-I'm gonna get stuck-push the button and tromp on it kind of set-up.
Thanks!

I really dont think that it would be possible. The reason for this is, the reverse override will "ground" out the the reverse wire. The dif lock override is an "open circut". You will need to different approachs to accomplish both.

THEN AGAIN, i have been known to be wrong!

I have installed a (toggle) switch next to the shifter for the reverse override (since you need to shift into reverse anyways). As for the other override, You can do like Silverbear and put it on the handle bar (since you will be using it in forward motion).

Trying to help!

I don't know the specifics of the circuits you're working with, but if you need to ground one circuit and open the other then it sounds like a relay in one circuit may be the ticket. Set it up so that when the relay's primary circuit gets grounded, the relay's secondary circuit (the override)gets opened (or vica versa depending on the needs of the circuit you put it in).
Relays can be normally-open or normally closed, so there should be something out there that will do the trick.
Sorry its kinda sketchy, but hopefully it will get someone with more knowledge of the Griz's circuitry thinking in the right direction.

I just did my limiter over rides today and I did both with one DPDT (double pole double throw)toggle switch. On a switch like this there are 6 lugs on the bottom. The switch has 2 positions, and in each position a different pair of lugs have continuity between them. By wiring it this way, in position 1, the 2 lugs for the reverse overide do NOT have continuity, but the 2 lugs for the diff lock DO have continuity so you have normal "limited" operation.
In position 2, the lugs for the reverse overide now have continuity but the diff lock doesnt, meaning ALL limiters have been disabled with throwing one switch. I tried it in the street this evening and it works. Maybe this weekend I can see how much difference it makes in the mud.

Thanks for the info!!!

I am working on the bike tonight in the garage (what limited things i can do) and will be playing around with the different limiters. I will be riding tonight (i hope) and if not, tomarrow for sure!

Will be hopping in the MUCK just to see how this bike is handling now.

LATER
