I just got a 95 Magnum 425 2x4. Do I really have to hold the override button the entire time I'm in reverse, or is something wrong? As of now, the button needs to be pushed and held before I shift into reverse, and as I am going backwards. If not, the engine dies. thanks for your help.

Well then, something must be wrong with my switch. As of now, if I don't hold the button, I can't put in into reverse....it will die. Also, I must hold it in while backing, or it will die. The guy I bought it from had a 400 4x4 of the same year. On his, he hit it once and it stayed. He was not required to hold as I do. Can I disconnect it completely? I don't care about the rev-limiter (my Honda had this for reverse, and I got used to it) but I don't want to hold the dumb button all the time!

Yeah mine does that too. IfI don't hold in the reverse override button it dies. The switch is bad. I asked the dealer about the price and although I don't remember exactly I think it was somewhere around 100 bucks to replace. Since you have to hold it in to have 4x4 in reverse anyway I figured I'd just live with the annoyance. Oh and don't even get me started on the requirement to hold down a button to have 4x4 in reverse.

Theres a VERY good chance your reverse limiter box is no good. If you replace it the problem will probably go away. They are not that hard to replace. Remove the fuel tank cover and headlight "Cover". Remove the old one, replace it, install the wires where they go and your done.
Make sure you have a good battery(even if the starter doesn't work and you use the pull rope to start it) Dead batteries on old Polaris' cause issues. The reverse limiter box is the popular issue when you run with a dead battery.
