Need your help...
I recently had the Electric Shift on my 2007 Honda Foreman replaced. Since I've had it back, I noticed when I'm parked (ATV running or not) and shift, there is now a hesitation. For example, whenᅠ I ᅠupshift from Neutral to 1st, once I push the button, it shifts immediately. If I upshift from 1st to 2nd (or 3rd), it won't shift immediately. There will be a pause/hesitationᅠ and ᅠfor those of you who have a Foreman with ES, you know when you push that ᅠbutton, up or down, you here that "click". Well now there is two clicks; once before the hesitation and once after. ᅠEven the gear display hesitates. It sounds like the first click is the ES and the second click is the gear shifting. Also understand that it doesn'tᅠ only happen on the same gear or while upshifting. It could happen on 4th one time while downshifting and then on 2nd while upshifting...or not at all.
Now, I took my ATV back to the dealer and they told me there was nothing wrong with it. First they told me it could be the ᅠbattery, but as some of you know, when the Foreman is running, the ES doesn't pull off of the battery. Second they told me it's "in my head" and that the Foreman have a rolling clutch, so I need toᅠ be moving in order for it to shift properly. I'd be fine with that explanation, but that is not how it functioned before they replaced the ES.ᅠ
Any thoughts from the mechanically inclined? Thanks in advance.
