Why does my ATV not shift gears when the engine is off?
If you can shift gears with the engine off, you know that the gear shifting mechanism, as well as the inside of the gearbox, most likely works fine. Gear shifting problems that are only present when the engine is running are usually clutch- or belt-related (Step 3) or caused by a high idle (Step 2).
What to do if your ATV won’t start?
Set the transmission to “Park” or “Neutral” before starting the engine. Run the fuel-flooded routine if the engine turns but won’t start. The routine is a special procedure for Bombardier ATV engines.
How to fix electronic shift on Honda ATV?
The easiest way to get to it is if you have a winch. If you do, pull your atv into the garage. Connect your winch cable to an overhead rafter, and pull the front end of your Rancher up so that the atv is standing on it’s rear wheels. Good luck, it’s an easy (yet, very effective) project. Avery, Please don’t use google.
What should I do if my ATV overheats?

Why is my mower hard to shift into gears?
Put the cover back on. Move the gears some more. If you still have the problem, it may get better the more you move the shifter around. If it doesn’t get any better or gets worse, then I’d say you have an internal shifting problem. That would be something you’d need a qualified technician to tend to.
Why does my bike not shift gears when idle?
Gear shifting problems that are only present when the engine is running are usually clutch- or belt-related (Step 3) or caused by a high idle (Step 2). You may find that the bike wants to creep or move forward when in gear at idle. But even without creep, the problem may be with one of these components.
Why is my shift belt so hard to shift?
Gotta pop off you clutch covers and see why the belt is being driven by the primary at idle. Could have a broken motor mount, primary could be plugged up with crap causing it to not open enough at idle to release the belt.
What causes a car to be hard to shift gears?
Troubleshooting: Gears are hard to shift 1 Suspect clutch adjustment. If the gears are hard to shift from neutral to first when the engine is running and also from first to second or second to third while 2 Gear linkage bushes are worn. 3 Gears make grinding sound on quick shifts.
Can you stick shift when the engine is running?
If I turn the key to on, but don’t fire the engine, I can stick shift with no problems through all the gears. As soon as the engine is running, I literally have to put all my force into moving the shift stick, to the point where it feels something is going to snap.
What to do when your gearbox is grinding?
How to fix: If you encounter constant grinding noises, you will need to open up the gearbox and get the gears and synchronizers checked and replaced as needed. This is an expensive repair. Share your thoughts on any other gear shifting troubles you’ve had and how it has been fixed with the CarToq community.
Why is my Polaris ATV so hard to shift?

Why does my CVT not go into gear?
The springs inside a CVT transmission clutch may weaken over time, preventing the clutch from functioning as it is supposed to. Clutch springs are replaceable, but you may need special tools to pull and disassemble the clutch. If the motor mount is bad or has come loose, the primary clutch may be out of alignment.
Where is the diagnostic connector on a Kawasaki ski?
1. Remove the seat, and look for the Yellow 6-pin diagnostic connector at the rear of the engine bay, just under the seat. It will have a dust cap on it with a looped single wire on the end of it: 2. Remove the dust cap from the diagnostic connector, attach the STX-100 Di Main Diagnostic cable to the yellow diagnostic connector on the ski. 3.
Are there any problems with the Kawasaki Vulcan?
Most of the problems on the Kawasaki Vulcan models that have to do with the regulator/rectifier will mask themselves as battery issues. This particular problem with the stator is apparent on the Vulcan 800 Classic, Vulcan 750, Vulcan 900 models. Stators are generally in charge of the charging system on a bike.
When to change drive pulley on Kawasaki Vulcan?
Drive pulley problems usually occur between 2,000 miles and 9,000 miles on the Vulcan 900. Swapping out the belt for a new one can work, but the tension must be just right when installing the new drive belt. So it is recommended to have a mechanic or dealership deal with the installation.
Is the Kawasaki Vulcan ergo fit a good bike?
“Kawasaki market research has determined that a primary concern for motorcycle buyers—first-timers and experienced riders—is finding a motorcycle that physically fits. Picking a new bike is not unlike trying on a new pair of shoes, and it is here that the all-new Kawasaki Vulcan S Ergo-Fit concept provides a fresh approach.”
Why is my speedometer not working on my Vulcan 800?
On the Vulcan 800, the speedometer cable housing can be a bit tricky to get to. So those who fixed the problem were able to use a pair of long-nosed pliers to get the housing closed. A visit to the mechanic might be next for those who aren’t mechanically inclined.
When do you know it’s time to change gears?
Generally, to get a good idea of when to change up, listen to the engine. As the engine begins to work harder and you can hear it revving, change up a gear. If driving in town and the car is unresponsive when you put your foot on the accelerator, you’re probably in too higher gear so change down.
Why does the RPMs get high when changing gears?
The main problem is that the rpms get high when I shift gears. I’ve taken the car to 3 mechanics and they can’t find the solution. There’s no air leaks. Throttle body, throttle position sensor and mass air flow sensor replaced. I’ve had mechanic do a tune up, oil change and I got new battery.
When do you get more torque in another gear?
Normally, there comes a point in the rev band where there is more torque available in another gear. In the diagram above, let’s say you are in 2nd gear at about 7000 RPM. The torque from the engine at 7000 RPM is about 100 ft lbs. The question: Could you get more torque in another gear? The answer: This depends on the gearing.
Why do I need to change my gear ratio on my ATV?
The two main reasons to alter the gear ratio of your ATV is to get more acceleration or to get more top speed. A lot of riders will use terms like ‘gear up’ or ‘gear down’ to describe the changes to their gear ratio by swapping out a sprocket for one with a different number of teeth.
How does gear ratio affect your top speed?
Gearing up will decrease your gear ratio number. This will increase your top speed, but decrease your acceleration. Tire size plays a big role in your gearing. Think about it this way, your gear ratio or ‘final drive ratio’ is changed so your tire rotates more or less per sprocket rotation right.
What happens when you change gears on a street bike?
For example, if your bike rolls down the freeway at 6000 rpm at 65 mph, you could gear up to lower that cruising rpm, reducing vibration and improving fuel mileage. Changing gearing on street bikes can be more complicated than with a motocross bike or ATV.
How does a belted CVT transmission shift gears?
When idling, the primary clutch on a belted CVT transmission is supposed to spin freely without engaging (not pulling on the belt). This relieves the tension on the gearbox and allows you to shift gears. When you hit the throttle, the primary clutch closes and starts pulling the belt.
How to test your gearbox for internal damage?
To test your gearbox for internal damage without splitting the case you can try this method: 1 The engine should be off. 2 Remove the belt cover. 3 Remove the drive belt. 4 Shift the bike into gear. 5 Try manually rotating the primary clutch; the bike should move. 6 If the bike does not move, you likely have an issue inside the gearbox.

What does it mean when your transmission is not shifting?
Q: transmission not shifting and the rpm’s keep climbing up. the transmission is not shifting properly, replaced both input and output speed sensors, but the rpms seem to be climbing high and the transmission does not seem to be shifting, gets up to speed fine, but the rpms just keep climbing on it… My car has 200000 miles.
Why does the shifter stick in a manual car?
In manual vehicles, the two cables are linked with the transmission for vertical and horizontal movements. And, in automatic transmission vehicles, it is linked directly to the main valve of transmission. So, let us talk about the reasons behind shifter stuck and the solutions for it as well.
