Sportsman 335 engine shuts off when the gear shift is put in reverse.
I have a 2000 sportsman 335 and each time I shift the gear lever in to reverse the engine shuts down and I cannot start the atv when the lever is in reverse. When I press the override switch with the atv in reverse the bike will stay runnng but as soon as you take your hand off the over ride switch it will shut off. When the shift lever is in forward range or neutral the atv will start and stay on. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Please let me know. Thanks.

If mine I wouldn't waste the money(about 80 dollars) on a new LR83 rpm limiter module!! Just tape the end of the wire and tuck out of the way! You NOW have full power in reverse WITHOUT having to push the yellow button in! Be careful when you back up now These modules were famous for failing and most of my customers didn't want to replace em! Just a crappy safety feature from Polaris that wasn't necessary imo and didn't hold up! OPT

Yes! The module's main purpose was to limit rpm in reverse for safety reasons until you pushed the override button which allowed full power then in reverse. The limiter wouldn't allow awd in reverse(because you couldn't get enough power to allow the rear tires to slip,engaging the front wheel drive) until you held the button down. You are now over riding the over ride! The modules would usually do what you machine did and that was to die when you placed it in reverse when they shorted out OR could even short out when you place the shifter in forward range! I've had em do it both ways! Worst years for these modules to fail was the 90-96 models,but later ones failed also. Opt
