Riding In Reverse - Honda TRX500FGA Owner's Manual

If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is clear and
only operate the ATV at low speed.
Improperly operating in reverse could cause you
to hit an obstacle or person behind you,
resulting in serious injury.
Make sure there are no obstacles or people
behind you before selecting reverse gear. When
it is safe to proceed, go slowly.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, then make sure the transmission
is in neutral.
2. Depress and hold down the brake pedal.
3. Be sure there are no obstacles or people in the way.
4. While pushing the release button, shift the shift lever into ''R''
(reverse) gear.
If the vehicle won't shift easily into reverse, rock the vehicle slightly
while moving the lever toward the reverse position. This will help line
up the gears in the sub-transmission.
Your ATV may be equipped with a reverse speed limiter, which helps
the vehicle to maintain a saf e speed while riding in reverse gear.
If the shif t lever is moved while the vehicle is moving, the sub-
transmission may be damaged.
