P500 Reverse cable adjustment

[William]

I adjusted my reverse cable tonight in about 2-3 minutes so I would not have to pull it to go in reverse. Works great!

That was one of the first things I did to mine. I noticed @PistonHonda was still using his in one of his videos. That was a pita when plowing.

My wife didn't think she could trust herself to not shift it into reverse by accident.

I dont trust me ........

Well you would hit neutral first...

Would it even go into reverse while you were moving forward? I've been wanting to do this myself but like @HUCK said I don't trust myself.

I'm sure it would or they wouldn't have needed the reverse handle.

Mine jerked the transmission when I was barely rolling forward and hit reverse. My bad.

Yes, it will. I sometimes get a little impatient when plowing and shift into reverse while still rolling forward slightly, it'll give you a good jerk.

Wifey last summer yanked the reverse lockout lever right out..... made the adjustment and so far has worked awesome. Best mod for snow ploughing for sure.

Where is the adjustment point located in the hood. I am going to adjust mine.

I searched the site and can't find it but if I remember correctly, it's easy to figure out. My power at the house is out today so I'll go out and adjust mine and let you know what I find.

Thanks as soon as you do let me know so I can do mine.

The first thing I did was take it apart to see how it worked.



I recommend you don't do this because it was a pain in the ass to get it back together.

My cable had the nuts adjusted almost all the way back as far as they could go (away from the lever). This allowed normal lever operation. If I turned the nuts toward the reverse lever, the lever eventually stopped working and it would shift into reverse without pulling the lever. Adjust it for your preference.

thank you too! I wouldn't have done mine without some encouragement.

Ok done, took about 30 min. It took me longer to muve my windshield and poot it back then it did to adjust the rivers cable. This will make it more efficient especially when riding in tight trails.

Good thread @William . I did mine so long ago I had forgotten about it until I saw Piston use his. Fast, free and easy mod.
