Just purchased the 03 bike. Breaking it in on the deer lease, I found that it did not shift consistantly to N. To get a re-start I had to rock it foreward and backwards and once I did that, I would get a N display for restart. Is this a break-in issue or a life-time practice? Showing 35 miles. While I am at it, I'm curious, I paid $5,400 total price for the bike. Did I get a good deal?

 

Mine does it too, i thought that it was just mine.

 

Is yours new as well?

 

It was bought used at a local auction, but its an 03 and might as well be new.

 

On the dash it just shows lines,correct? (on the gear selection spot)

 

Turn your idle down some.

 

no, it will even do it when the engine is off.

 

My Kodiak has done the same thing since new. My buddies Grizz, does the same thing. My other buddies Suzuki does the same. I think it's a very common problem from all manufacturers. I'm not even sure I should be calling it a "problem", it's just something that happens with the light/tranny sensor. It's not that there is a mechanical malfunction, it's just one of those unexplanable phenomenons.


Did that make sense?
