Going in reverse against the reverse limiter shouldn't be done, it's not recommended. It's there as a safety feature to prevent one from losing control in reverse/high speed. But, going in reverse slowly before you hit the limiter is fine, no reason to override. You should use the override anytime you need power or to get the tires turning(mud, etc).

sorry i haven't replied to this in a while. i did get the new belt and got it on. it seems to run the same as before no change there. i also went ahead and change out the spark plug with a new one but same there. in reality it runs but my biggest deal is that in high gear it takes a while to get going. when i got it none of the light anywhere worked so i got the book for it and found most of them did not have the ground working so i was able to rig up a new ground and they all work now.
the only thing i can not get working is the 4x4. this has a small push button to engage the 4x4. when i push it the light doesn't come on below the button and it doesn't kick into 4x4. i got stuck once and that's when i found out the front wheels weren't kicking in.
i'm not sure if it's just an electrical issue since i haven't dove into that yet. but i guess that's next.

thanks for the reply old polaris tech. it's a 95 and when i ran new ground to all the other lights i also found everyone of them was burnt out so i had to change them also. i'm betting that is probably the same thing here. i'll check it out. any idea if it's a standard blub i can pickup at a local auto parts store?
and on the clutch issue, is that an expensive fix?

95 has the same awd switch as the 98 model. Bulb # 4030047 back of push button switch. If bulb fails the circuit is not complete, will not engage awd. This system changed on 99 models to where bulb didn't have any control over the awd systwm. NOT sure where another source of supply for bulb is other than Polaris dealers, very small bulb with a slot in the back of bulb to remove and install! OPT

If you don't have push button switch on the throttle housing for the awd,then some one has probably rewired it direct!! Look up Pure Polaris Parts Catalog and you will see it on the throttle housing. OPT

If switch housing is still there,then still possible was rewired under the front panel! Had a few guys just eliminate the switch because of the bulb having to complete the circuit and then had full time awd just like the old 1988 Trail Boss 4x4 models (not able to turn awd off or on, front wheels kicked in when it needed it!). OR can be shift box switch bad also not triggering awd light!! OPT
