Hello all, new to the forum.
I just picked up my new '06 Sportsman 800 today. (WOW, what a great machine[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]) I am trying to figure out how to bypass the reverse overide? I have a '96 sportsman 500 and that one was easy with just a relay, but that manual had a wiring diagram in it and there was no computer to deal with. Has anyone figured this out for the '06 800's? Please help
Thanks
Joe

 

joe , i dont know how but becareful as thats how u run your speedo and the computer functions.

 

Yeah I know, that's why I am looking for some guidence. I'm sure that with a relay it can be done just like my '96, but I don't know which wire comes from the reverse selector since the manual no longer includes a wiring diagram.

Just wanted to welcome you to the forums. If anyone knows how to hook you up its going to be on this site.

 

floodrunner can help you with the over-ride issue. he sells kits with instructions....... or just do like I did, pay him a visit (I see you live real close to him in Portage) I'm sure he will help you put on the mod. I live in Necedah, WI and drove down to see him and he helped-----err-put on the 3 headlight mod also.

 

Do you happen to have a # for him? I have the relay to do the mod, but I cannot find the switched wire coming back from the gear selector. I believe it switches the ground, but I cannot find it. I have found all other necessary wires but that one.
Thanks
Joe

 

Try through www.quadovator.com

 

Yes, mhaines2 is right just go to that site and his # will be on there or you can e-mail him.

 

I have a 06 sp 500 the ground wire from the tranny switch on this is the purple one hope this helps

 

I think that is going to be my next mod.. It gets very old holding the override in when plowing...
