you will have to find out on the internet for better description but its a small circular black plastic thing on the output shaft i believe on the backside of the motor

The angle sensor on a TRX500FE is at the front of the engine next to the shift control motor ....

Mine is doing the exact same thing!!! I sat in the city all day today while they tried to find the problem, they never did!! they gave my bike back and said they would have to call Honda tech next week and try to figure it out...can someone tell me how exactly I change the angle sensor and i'll do it myself.
