Bought a 1995 Polaris 250 Trailboss a little over a week ago and now that I added a good battery the quad dies when I throw it in reverse. I unhooked the wires off of what I'm guessing is the reverse indicator switch in the transmission and it runs fine but wont light up the R light. A few other guys on here told me to unhook the black wire off of the rev limiter and that will fix the problem. I took a few pics and was hoping that maybe someone could point out where the wire is that I need to cut or unhook. Here is the link:

The rev limited probably doesn't have anything to do with it if you take the reverse indicator off and it runs fine...that to me says the problem is right there..you must be grounding out in the indicator somewhere.

 

I think that pic is of the rectifier for the charging system but I could be wrong. try looking in partsland.com

Reverse limiter should have 4 wires - black, green, white, and yellow

The voltage regulator should have 3 wires - yellow, red, yellow/red stripe

 

Thanks Quadwrench.
