Shift Lever

CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
With the engine stopped and the brake lever lock
engaged, turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then
shift the transmission into each of the gear positions and
note that the gear position indicated on the LCD corre-
sponds to the gear position selected by the lever.
If the indicator does not correspond to the selected gear,
it will be necessary to test drive the ATV to determine if
the gear position switch is faulty or the shift lever needs
adjustment.
If the ATV functions in the gear selected by the shift
lever, troubleshoot the gear position switch (see Electri-
cal System).
If the ATV functions but the shift lever does not corre-
spond with the gear indicated on the LCD, adjust the shift
linkage. To adjust, proceed to ADJUSTING.
ADJUSTING
1. Remove the seat; then remove the left-side engine
cover.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position, loosen
jam nut (A) (left-hand threads); then loosen jam nut
(C) and with the shift lever in the reverse position,
adjust the coupler (B) until the transmission is in
reverse and the "R" icon appears on the LCD.

1. With the master cylinders in a level position, check
the fluid level in the reservoirs. On the hand brakes if
the level in the reservoir is adequate, the sight win-
dows will appear dark. If the level is low, the sight
windows will appear clear.
2. Compress the brake levers/pedal several times to
check for a firm brake. If the brake is not firm, the
systems must be bled. To bleed the brake systems,
use the following procedure.
