Honda ES reverse solution

[oldfox]

Anyone that has a Honda Rancher or Foreman with ES shifting, knows what a PITA the reverse button is.  I found this solution http://forums.atvsource.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49467&start=15 , and wanted to pass it on.......simple, and works like a charm!

Your right there Scotty, that reverse button has to be one of the poorest designs that Honda came up with, and makes no sense.  You still have to pause in neutral before changing gears!  Snow plowing seems so much easier now...
