P700 Transmission Emergency Valve Screw

[rogerdodger]

I've read that turning the transmission emergency valve screw all the way in helps with the issue of the pioneer 700 not shifting out of 2nd into 3rd. Will it actually improve 2nd to 3rd gear shift and after I tighten the screw do I just put the lock plate over the front of the screw and tighten it back down? Thanks

LOL...no.
The purpose of the screw is to allow a hydromechanical bypass of the electronics in case something goes wrong with them. Turning it in locks the tranny in 2nd gear, and ONLY 2nd gear, to allow you a chance to get back to help.

What is the shifting issue?
Assuming its warmed up, Usually when these don't shift right its the oil level. Check it using the procedure in the manual. You can't just randomly pull the dipstick out and check it, as it won't give the proper reading.

If the issue is with a cold machine, its just something you'll have to live with. Synthetic oil helps, but they all tend to shift funny/poorly until some heat gets in the oil.

like dg said if the bike isnt warm. mine wont shift out of 2nd till it wraps the rpm limiter sometimes if really cold still wont shift out of 2nd.

Remember that depending on the year of your 700 that the transmission has two modes, cruise and sport. You cannot select between the two, the machine does it based on your driving. I know sometimes when I’m running mine hard and then chill out and want to cruise easy it will hold 2nd and act like it’s never going to shift but after awhile the shifting gets more relaxed.

New member here, not sure how to make a new post, But transition is stuck in limp mode. Replaced linkage and now replaced linear valve and change oil and filter twice ??? I'm at such a loss

Does it have a check engine light? What's the gear display say? Speedometer working?

I’ve not heard of that happening, I’d be interested to know what’s causing it.
