Try pulling out the fuses from under the seat and reinstalling them,that will reset things. It straigten a few shift quirts on my 450es foreman.

I tried to pull mine off with a jaw type puller, tried the prybar/hammer technique, tried mild heat, and then gave up and hauled the bike to the local dealer. I bought some oil and a new filter cartridge and discussed my problem with the counterman. He went to the back and brought the special tool out along with a wrench and a socket and handle. He pulled it off for me in less than a minute for free.
