I just bought a 2005 Honda Foreman and heard there were some mods you could do to override the reverse button to keep from having to depress it each time.

Do any of you know how to do this and does it damage anything?

Thanks,
Marti

 

i did my 06 350 with a 4 in x 1/4 bolt cut the head off and bend in a L shape take reverse cable out reverse lever on back of engine insert L into lever hole other end thru cable bracket and w/lock nut tighten up until lever is all the engaged do not over tighten will not hurt anything unless u shift into reverse will still movein forwards simple fix cost me like 45 cents to make mine and have seen them on the web for about 9$ plus shipping u do the math if u send me an email i will try to send some pic of it

 

Welcome to the forum.

If I recall correctly I think I read that you can adjust the cable adjuster so that you don't have to push the button?

Anyhow, personally, I just got used to it, and you get to where you are fast and don't even think about it after a while. Also, I'd be afraid I'd smash the thing into reverse while still moving forward and just trying to stomp down gears into N...

 

you took an old arrow shaft cut a section 1/4 inch or so and a slit down side. pull the brake witht he reverse button down. slip it on the cable for the reverse (the bottom one). crimp closed so cant come off. that keeps the reverse part of the brake held open all the time just be carefull and make sure you come to complete stop before shifting in to reverse.
