Bought new 2007 Foreman 500 ES . I love it, the only thing is the way you put it in reverse is a pain. Are there any after market modifactions i can do to change this.
Thanks H4zY that was very helpful.Welcome deer slayer, heres a link to this topic. My suggestion is use a wire tie. I Have both my machines done this way and it works great!...

So far I have done this to many manual shift Honda's and never a problem.is it kinda risky to try on a manual footshift ?
It becomes a bit of a bigger deal when you're plowing. Forward, reverse, forward, reverse, forward, reverse. Over and over and over, the method of shifting into reverse can be a bit cumbersome, especially with mittens on.i dont see what the big deal is.
No, the ES prevents you from shifting into neutral unless you are going very slowly already, so it pretty much stops you from doing any major damage.Wouldn't you risk loosing reverse doing this? If you downshift past first while you still moving you can very easily chip a tooth on the gear.
I'm not sure, I guess you could try shifting into neutral at 5mph or more and see if it allows you to.I'm speaking on behalf of the footshifters though. Same difference?
