i have a 2001 honda foreman es the electronic shift dosent work so i took it to honda and had a diagnostics ran the told me the ecm/cdi was bad so i bought one and put it on and it didnt change a thing is there something im missing or doing wrong.the bike wont shift at all with the es and only displays when you put it in 1st and 5th they said everything had voltage up to the ecm/cdi but not past it

 

You should used the search option on this site,first,the ES problems and fixes has been posted to death, infact the Moderator should just put a sticky from one of "Honda Mechanics" past es post so he does not have to type it out a hundred times a month.

Here are a few seach results but there are more. http://forums.atvconnection.com/sear...earchid=264302

 

We've changed only a few ECU's on 1998-01 Foremans , and only 1-2 were changed for ESP problems ..
The gear position switch displays " R , N , 1 , 5 " the ECU displays " 2 , 3 , 4 " but only with the engine running , it will display == with the engine off ...

The dealer told you the ECU was bad and that didn't fix it .. ? .. Was the bike still at the dealer when the ECU was installed .. ? .. If it was at the dealer then they should refund the ECU price ..

Does that dealer not send mechanics to the Honda service schools .. ? .. Honda recommends a couple of home made tools when testing 1998-01 Foremans ..

 

well they gave me an outreagous price for the ecu so i got it cheaper from mrcycles.com they told me they test all the connections and they were good just not past the ecu i dont know if there is something i could have done wrong installing it all i did was take the 2 connectors off and plugged the new one in so what should i do beings this didnt fix the problem
