I am looking at a 125 grizzly for my son. The guy who owns it says it shuts down when put in reverse and says its a sensor and an easy fix. Does this sound like a sensor problem or is it more serious.

 

forgive me as I haven't messed with the 125 grizzly. but does it have a reverse limiter similar to a Polaris so as to not speed in reverse? do you know? I would reckon that is the sensor he's talking about. how much $ for the quad? what year model?

 

As far as I know it does have the reverse limiter.
Guy said it was an easy fix.
It's an 05 grizzly for under $1000

 

if it were me, i'd do a maximum of $600.

 

You have to apply the brake before you click it into reverse. I don't know where the switch is but there is one there.

 

doctorturbo,

i'm presuming here so bear with me....i have a 450 grizzly, after looking at it and then being real familiar with the chinese quads, i believe that brake sensor is going to be up there on the handlebar where it sees the pressure from the piston by the reservoir.
