i do preasure wash my foreman after every ride (if im not to spent )lol
and i put dielectric greese in every conection atleast every 6 months (to keep the inside of the electrical conection dry )
^so are you pulling all the plastics off every 6 months or do you target particular sensors (angle)?
This is a really good question and I often wonder myself. When i first got my foreman, the gear shift indicator started blinking 3 times my second ride out. That lead me to this sight and here ive been since. I found out there were alot of problems but no answers.
I have have kept the 'bad sensor' on it and noticed that the problem occurs when going 30+mph. It has happened alot less since i put dielectric grease on it but has happened. I just turn it off, restart it, and its fine.
I feel that the sensor may not always be bad, but it occasionally trips the system into thinking it is. One thing is for sure, it is a poorly designed piece and one of the foremans biggest problems.
yup i pull the plastics alot more then every 6 months (seems like every friking 2 weeks ) lol im getting ready to pull the front plastics of to test some sensors from a parts bike and to install a warn 424
but what everyone doesnt seem to remember is on this forum you only hear about the BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO HONDAS AND NEVER ABOUT THE GOOD !!!!!! like fuk them angle sensors i put 3 of them in in 5 years never my 450 is 13 years old and i never replaced a angle sensor !!!! i wish the next 10 people that have problems with there angle sensor would send them to me (old ones) id bet that 9 out of 10 sensors are still good and are just dirty!!!!!!
