i recently installed a epi clutch kit and it makes the engagement of the clutch higher.so with the reverse rev limter i have limted reverse power. i was wondering if there was a way to disable the reverse rev limter and still have the indacator and reverse light work. i owned a z400 a couple of years ago and i was able to disable it wondering if it possable on the vinson.

 

nobody has any ideas

 

alright here ya go.

Reverse speed limiter override for a Suzuki Vinson. Total cost less than $1.



These instructions will completely disable the reverse speed limiter.


Be careful riding since the ATV can now go just as fast in reverse as forward. The steering will be very unstable at high speed.


All work is done to the wiring bundle on the upper frame rail near the left rear tire. (All directions refer to the position on the ATV as if you are in the rider’s position.)

Materials:
 Diode – suggested part number 1N4001 available from Radio Shack (1N4002, 1N4003, or 1N4004 will also work but are slightly more expensive.)
 Electrical tape
 2 band ties (optional)

Tools:
 knife, wire stripper, wire cutter, soldering iron and solder

1. Locate the CDI module mounted on the front of the rear storage box. Locate the wire bundle on the upper frame rail going to the CDI module, taillight, and two loose connections. Carefully cut the tape securing the wire bundle to the retaining clip that is mounted vertically into the frame rail. The bundle along the frame rail is covered by an adhesive vinyl sleeve. Peel back that sleeve toward the front of the ATV. You may have to unwrap a tape holding the end of the sleeve. Do not cut the vinyl sleeve. Do not remove the short sleeve covering the branch to the CDI module.

2. Find the White/Red (white with a red tracer) wire and the Blue/Red wire. There is more than one Blue/Red wire, find the one going to the CDI module. Cut the Blue/Red wire. Cover the end going to the CDI module with tape. Connect the diode to the Blue/Red wire going toward the front of the ATV. The cathode (end of the diode with the stripe) connects to the Blue/Red wire. The other end of the diode (anode) connects to the White/Red wire. Don’t cut the White/Red wire, just peel back the insulation. Make sure to solder your connections. Stagger your connections so that the diode lies in a straight line along the wiring bundle. Make sure there are no sharp solder or wire spikes.

3. Cover your connections with tape. Make cure the bare diode leads do not touch each other or any ground. Cover the diode with tape securing it to the wire bundle. Pull the vinyl sleeve back over the bundle and secure it with tape. Secure the bundle to the mounting clip. You can use tape, but I found wire ties to be easier.

4. When you are done it should look just like you started. The speedo display will work just as before.


v581

 

yea i have a fix for that..sell it and get a king quad..it has a override for your issue

 

haha, i wish i could race someone with a kq, and rip em a new one with my vinny.

just tell me how do you like the first model year problems????

can't even nail it without it going cough...sputter...pop, then it goes.

it nice to see people payin over 7000$ for a quad that uses the same axles and shocks as the vinson, not to mention the same belt, and misc other parts. lets put it this way, i can sheer cv joints apart from the power, and the KQ uses the same P/N guess that 700 would break em even quicker then, am i right?

v581

 

well lets see,,first off i work at suzuki and the axles are not the same..reason i know is i ripped my axle boot and you cant get on yet because there not avalable..second i saw your video and i dont need to stand on my racks to do wheelie like your quad needs..second i never had a vinson any where near me when i hit the throttle..oh by the way did i forget to tell you i owned a 2005 vinson and sold it 4 weeks later to buy the king,witch in my mind is way better that the vinson i used to own..and finnaly i do have some what a blur chough and spit off a dead stop when punching it..but trust me by the time you even relized what happen your little vinson will be in my dust by far and i have 26 in tires..oh and the power commander will fix the sputter off the line as soon as i get it..oh tell me how manny brake pads have you gone through..the vinso has a little issue with that,,and if you a 2002..you might need a shifter update..hard to get out of reverse or low range..very comon with 2002 vinsons..and its a 12hour job to fix that..and how many push pins did you loose on your floor boards..man if you just look at the floor boards they fall out..i can goon and on ..but i will be nice..have a good day with your little 500 cc quad..nice fog lights ..trhat help the quad cool down after you go in mud..and have the whole metal plate behind the radiator so you cant clean it good..

 

dont listen to this guy i ride with him all the time i wont remind him howmy vinson did better in the mud at pittsfeild state forest an i dont even have a locker. plus if you corner to hard with a king quad it will roll over.

 

and thanks for the info on how did get rid of the revese rev limter it pretty much the same thing as the z400 i had to cut a wire and connect 2 togher

 

Hey King-What the fu-- are you talking about-"metal plate'? As for the King not being a mudder-the one (s) we tested were pretty capable.
Now then, we all know how the Suzuki guys (mechanics-I took mine to the shop for the first service) hate the Vinson plastic, but the way you portrayed the Vinson as being light years behind the KQ is incorrect. Yes, a stock KQ will out-perform a stock Vinson in ~most~ situations. But, factor in some variables, and the differences/superiorities become "blurred"- in a hurry. On the brake pad issue-1 set (rear) in 1800 miles. I'm not sure on this, but doesn't the KQ use the same push-bullet fasteners as the Vinson? And I've looked at my floor boards a couple of times......they've never fallen off! As for 581's lights: They offer a little more radiator protection than the cheapo faux-mesh grill Suz. threw on the KQ. I like the looks of it, (see my pic.s) but fabbed my own out of expanded metal. Humor me, go "on and on" about how crappy the Vinson is. I'd like to know what shortcomings to expect. With a machine as sh!tty as I've been thrashing, I don't know how I ever got through the terrain I've traversed! Must be my superior riding skills! J/K!!!!

581-Thanks for the tip.

 

um im talking about the back of the raidator ..the fan is housed by a metal plate that takes up the whole space of the radiator..so when you clean the radiator after a good day in the mud..you cant wash the raidator very good because the plate wont let the water go all the way through the radiator..the griz has the same set up as mine..and yes we do have the same push pins as the vinson but the floor board doesnt have the support under where you put your feet ..so when you are standing up and leanind back your heal actually pulls the floor board down causing the pins to come out..the king has better support under the floor board..and im not saying the vinson is bad..its just not up to par with some of the bigger quads..im mean you really dont need any more than 500cc but thats not how this sport is any more..it used to be about just riding..now its about whos got the biggest or baddest quad out there.and im sorry to say but as far as 581 goes..a vinson with a clutch kit..a cam and air filter,,isnt going to make it faster than a stock king..i have been around motors along time..its going to take more than that to beat a 700 efi..i dont care what cam you put in ..the vinson just dont have the motor..
