Welcome from south FL....
I'm not too familiar with the P5s but I believe there is a over ride/bypass for that. Someone more knowledgeable then me will sure comment.... @trigger @Mudder

If the P520 is like the P500, simply tighten up the reverse lever cable adjustment (from inside the hood) which will act as the lever being constantly pulled. Here’s a link to a thread with video. Hope this helps and best wishes on the recovery.
P500 - Reverse lever bypass
Yesterday I spent the day cutting fire wood and the worst part was having to pull the lever to back up so today I fixed that little problem with a cure I saw on the Appalachian mountain riders u tube site and boy what a difference. Now just pull the paddle and your in reverse I just wanted to...

Reverse lever bypass as Mudder mentioned. Best free mod out there. While cruising around, I frequently have a beverage occupying the use of my left hand, or I'm just being lazy, so I shift/drive/change music selection with just my right hand.
You'll be fine.

Howdy from Oklahoma and welcome to the club. I had a couple of strokes within about 3 months, a few years back. Fortunately I did not have any physical problems. It just left me a little befuddled in the head. My wife and friends told me that they could not tell any difference. I don't know if they are just being nice, or if I have always been goofy. Hope you get well soon. 👍

1st. Welcome from central upstate N.Y
Many good people & imformation on the Honda forum. & they like PICTURES
Red was the 1st color all other colors followed Honda hopes they sell.
P520 <>Reverse Lever adjusted Out <> Spinner Steering Knob <> EPS <> Should make Excelent Set-up for situation.
Good Health <> Good times <> in the future.

The reverse lever bypass mod was so easy even I could do it.
Me, too! Might have been the first modification I did . . . I was so proud 🤓

It's probably actually less stressfull on the system, VS constantly yanking on the reverse handle and stressing the cable. Ya ever hang out with a buncha guys on 3wheelers, and have to do 8 point turns for hours on end cuz you cant follow em on their dinky little trails? lol, woulda yanked out my hair if I had to keep jerking on that reverse lever...
Mine was done the day I got it home, years back. I'm sure others have been done even longer.On the fence about this mod. Are there any drawbacks from a mechanical standpoint in having the lever and associated trans components in this "stressed under tension condition". Asking for a friend.

It doesn't put any stress on the trans at all. I did this mod right away as well due to plowing with mine and that lever was just a pita. It's just a BS safety feature that they put on to make you conscious of the fact you'll be backing up. There's a similar feature on my JD lawn tractor. It won't even go into reverse until you're nearly at a dead stop.

Gubmint and lawyers threw that lever in there because you can't be trusted. Adjusted so long ago that I forgot it was there till you posted. Get well and take care of yourself. Been there, done that. Pound your P-5 for medicinal purposes...........

What Trigger said.

From a mechanical engineering standpoint, the stress under constant tension is most likely much less than cyclical strain and relief from repeatedly operating the lock out lever.On the fence about this mod.
