2001 450ES

My quad gets stuck in 4th gear when I almost reach top end. It goes --. Then I can't shift it into 3rd or 5th. It will do the same thing if I reach top speed in 5th gear, but it will show 5 on the dash and nothing happens when I push either up or down buttons. If I turn key off/on fast without killing the engine it will work again. Just changed angle sensor and battery is all charged up.

Thanks for the help.

That's why I bought an "S" model.Too many problems with my wife's Recon ES. I had a bad angle sensor,changed it myself and still had the same problem.Took it to my dealer and they changed the angle sensor again and everything was O.K.Turned out the new sensor I bought was no good.

It was the speedo sensor acting up. Changed it out and is working fine now.

Thanks.

Rear crankcase cover, on the left foot side. Wire harness goes in the top and has 2 bolts holding it in place. It will leak some oil when you remove it.
