Whats the deal with reverse on the Kodiak 450? I am limited to how much power I get when backing up. It will bog. Is that over ride switch suppose to prevent the bogging from happening? If you need to pull someone out of the mud, the engine will bog, or if I am backing out of a mud pit, it also will bog. This is the way it is set up, but I don't understand why and would like to see if there is a way to by pass the governor or what ever is used on the engine to retard it.

Any ideas?

 

Yes.. that is why you have a "override button" on the handlebars. It limits rpm's when in reverse and in difflock.

 

I believe the over ride is for when the diff lock is in, not the reverse. Cause I recall times holding the button in while going in reverse, and it still bogged. Unless my over ride button is broken. It never helped from the day I brought home the ATV new.

I've had the connections under the seat for the winch get mud and water on it and the winch would not work and had to clean out the connections. Now I use dielectric grease on all the connections, so that they are protected. But never put any on the connections on the handle bars connections yet.
