There were some posts on this in the past--but they seem to have died away---anyone know why when we click on 4 wheel drive it takes so long to engage?????? I would love to bypass whatever it is to get it to go on immediately.

I dont know if its good the the quad or not but when im rolling at about 5 mph and push the button it goes straight in with no hesitation. No noise is made or anything.

 

I seem to recall that Mike W. posted here about a month ago (give or take) that when unplugged/disconnected his KEBC wires, he noticed one side effect was that his 4x4 engagement was much faster or perhaps instant.

Has anyone pulled there front propeller shaft to look at the design if the 4wd system? It maybe impossible to go in instantly with the design.

 

The 650 A/C has the same KEBC and its 4wd is instant,its set up like the yamaha I think,never had it apart yet though.

 

after 2 months, my '02 still engages instantly with the KBEC removed ??? it was extremely lazy ( normal ) prior to messing with the KBEC...

 

Hey Newbeatle---what connection can you make with the KEBC affecting the 4 wheel drive???? It almost seems like it is some kind of electrical delay slowing the transition down.----and lazy is a good way of describing the delay. And when you say removed, did you just take the fork out or did you do something else??

 

I do believe it was built in, to help eliminate broken parts...

I do believe the connection to "speedier" engagement is electrical... both the 4 X 4 & KBEC use the same controller ( the "other" big black box inder the seat )...

I have completely removed my actuator, ( I'm running a V Force belt cover ( $40.00 local dealer price ), benifits include no belt trip switch, no KBEC actuator, & a drain plug, that is not available on the Prairie covers )... I'm running the Dalton V Force primary cover ( which should have no effect on 4 X 4 engagement ), & I have cut the green / white striped wire, that feeds the KBEC fault circuit to the display... if I had to guess, I'd say that unplugging the actuator was what effected the engaugement, however, I honestly didn't notice it, until the Green / white striped wire was cut...
