My buddy has an 05 that he bought with only 5 hours on it but it has this harness that connects to a small plastic sensor that when it gets submerged,it shorts out and he cant go more than 5-10 miles an hour until he resets the computer or something.We replaced the crcked one that wwas there(you could tell the previous owner had the same prob)but it doesnt make a good water proof seal.
I was wondering if anybody knows what the heck im talking about.I figured it is a regular problem for this model and somebody has a quick fix for it by now (ie. silicone it shut,etc.)
any help is appreciated...Cliff

 

dielectric grease will help. if u gonna be in lots of water, its a good idea to put it on any of the important wires..... ign. coil, sparkplug, and modules

 

this is supposed to be a factory harness that is sealed from water once connected!
I know what dielectric grease is,I nedd someone who has had this problem and has a definite solution.

 

Can you send me a picture, maybe i can help.

I appreciate the offer but his quad is stored upstate.4 hours away.

 

Where exactly is this harness?

 

right side,low and behind where your foot would be

 

I believe the machine is going into limp mode, which prevents belt failure and allows the owner to get the ATV to a certain distance without breaking down. Very annoying actually. If he resets it, buys a dynatek CDI box im betting it never happens again.

 

Besides that, with a Dynatek he will have an enormous power increase that he will love.

 

how much,where do i get it...maybe I be a pal if its not too $ !
