Default How To Set eliminate Reverse Override.

Thats the only thing that ticks me off on my O2 H.O. I have the warn rocker switch and I cant do both. And The fact that fourwheel Drive only works in reverse if the buttons pushed in sure makes alot of things difficult any Ideas would be great. I already have 3 switches on my my console headlight override, Hand warmers and fog lights so no more switches.

Also What do people have out there for cup holders I had one but i Made it with a can huggie and it sucked I also Seen one I liked but it was 60 Bucks give me a break, I already have 7400 into it. I would Appreciate your info thanks.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Default How To Set eliminate Reverse Override.

You want to eliminate reverse override correct? Well here is some info from Snowrides' page, if you have any questions he is on here from time to time and he will help you out. Hope this helps.
<HR SIZE=1>

<!--EZCODE FONT START--><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: large; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica">#2</SPAN><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <!--EZCODE FONT START--><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: medium; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica">Reverse Override/Rev Limiter Bypass Instructions</SPAN><!--EZCODE FONT END-->

THESE INSTUCTIONS WILL NOT WORK ON THE 04 MODELS. I AM WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SEND ME A 04 WIRING DIAGRAM SO I MAY PROVIDE INSTUCTIONS FOR THE NEW MODELS.

Polaris has incorporated a safety feature on all their 4wd models. This feature, which is operational all the time when reverse is selected, will limited engine power and cut out the front wheel drive unless you push the "override" button.

One of the main reasons you would want to do this mod is because when you get stuck and the only way out is reverse, it is impossible to pull the ATV backwards while applying throttle AND pushing the override button. It is also very helpfull when you use your ATV to plow and need 4wd every time you back up with the weight of the plow hanging off the front.

This mod will give you 4wd and full power when in reverse without having to push the override button. This is for all Polaris Sportsman models with the new style speedo (2003) and Sp700, 02. Continue down below for pre 03 model instructions.

The problem with the new style, is that the function button for the speedo is combined with the override button and it is not as straight forward as the old style speedo. Doing it this way everything works as it should exactly the way it did before the mod.

The nicest thing about this mod is that you do not need to cut any wires or drill any holes.

You will need to purchase a standard 4 pin, 12v &lt;!--EZCODE LINK START--&gt;<a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CT LG%5F010%5F008%5F007%5F000&product%5Fid=275%2D226" target=top&gt;relay</A>&lt;!--EZCODE LINK END--&gt;, 4 pieces of 16 gauge wire about 8" long, 4 female crimp on spade connectors(for connection of wires to relay), and 4 wire splice connectors.(they are usually blue and you simply insert the wires and squeeze with pliers, then fold back the protective locking cover)

Open the pod and locate the wiring harness coming from the speedo.

Relay terminal #30 connect to Polaris brown wire
Relay terminal #87 connect to Polaris wire gray/orange
Relay terminal #86 connect to Polaris wire red/white
Relay terminal #85 connect to Polaris wire purple.

Use dielectric grease at all electrical connections to prevent corrosion in the long run or even better, liquid tape.

To test, simply put it in reverse with the engine running, if the speedo flases the word "SLOW" (just like it did before the mod, when you pressed the override button) you did everything correct. Enjoy

__________________________________________________ __
Pre 2003 and almost all models that do NOT have the combined override/speedo function button.

Trace wires from the override button (gray/white & gray/orange) Cut the gray/orange and tape up both ends. Cut the gray/white and tape up the end which goes to the override button. Connect the other end of the gray/white to the red/white (ignition supplied 12v) You will also need to trace the purple wire which comes from the handlebars and simply cut and tape both ends. Done deal.



IMPORTANT
If your wires are different colors than the ones I mention. Post a new topic and I will gladly figure it out for you. Polaris has been building quads since 84 and I cannot possibly know the color schemes for every model/year.

No, won't hurt anything, may void warranty, not sure. I would ask your dealer to make sure.
