I have figured out a simple way to get the 250ex to start in gear, and still have the neutral light function properly. It doesn't require any wire cutting/splicing and is fully reversible.

If there's any interest I'll detail how to do it and take some pictures.

i'm intrested let me know.

 

Stupid question, but what's the benefit of starting an ATV while it's in gear?

 

i hear its if your riding along ure engine cuts out say you knock the kill switch, you dont have to stop to start it back up, u just hit the starter and your off again, ive never had that happen, but thats what i was told
>>>hayve<<<

 

my wife has a problem with remembering to gear down when she's climbing a hill. so she will stall it and have to gear it down to neutral to get it back started. she's not the most balanced person(top heavy) and this would be a nice feature to be able to start it in first for her.

 

Stupid Question but How can you stall an auto-clutched quad?

 

climbing a hill in 5th will do it!

 

but i got a 250ex and it hasnt stalled doing that before??? i did that alot when i first started riding and it didnt stall [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

don't ask me, maybe she's special!

 

Dusty......how do you do it? I stall my quad all the time in gear. Either
riding through deep water or just taking a wheelie to the grab bar.
It's a pain in the a$$ to try and downshift to neutral once it's stalled.
You really have to slam the shifter.
