Step 1. Start by taking the seat, rack and plastic off so you can access the right side of the engine and the battery. (right side if you're sitting on it.)

Step 2. Locate the green with white stripe sensor cable going into the "bullet style" sensor on the top of the engine. You can pull it straight up to pop it off, in order to verify that it's the correct cable. (if powered on, the reverse light should come on.) Trace this wire back up to the wiring harness.



You really can't miss it...

Retard?? It eliminates the rev-limiter in reverse. It does nothing with the dif-lock in fwd....[/b]
How does it control the rev limiter? Spark? <---known as retard

Just a techinicality, but you answered my question, thanks.

I'm getting ready to do the reverse override. I'm not interested in a switch. but I don't have a sea foam green with white wire, only a seafoam green wire in that clear six pin connector. Is this the one to ground out?[/b]
If you don't want the switch, this is probably the simplest way here. You just need to ground out the green and white wire I believe.

just ground the green sensor wire to the grounds at the base of the starter, do this by splicing in a short piece of wire with an eyelet on the end into the green wire, it even slides into the existing crimp and boot at the sensor end then remove the ground bolt and install the eyelet. $0.25 cents and the reverse overide is permanent and fool proof just dont gas it in reverse !!!!!![/b]

The Green/white wire can be found if you remove the right hand side plastic and belt exhaust. There is a little thing that looks simalar to a tiny spark plug with the green and white wire, it does have a black sleeve around it.
Mine looks a little different, as I did my override a little different then posted. Yours will have a little black clip on it (red circle). It's a little blurry, but you get the idea. That is attached to the connection that is circled yellow.

Good luck. Hope it helps.

it's easier if you just use one of these wire splice connectors... and then ground out the new wire you spliced the old one to...

(I just like the ability to turn it off when I let inexperienced people ride. The switch is still working perfect for me. People think it came like that.)

Oh yeah, forgot about those. That's the easiest for sure.


The way I did mine was to make a jumper wire with a male and female bullet connector that plugs into the stock stuff. The extra wire was crimped into one of the new bullet connectors that runs to the switch. Then one more wire from the switch to the ground. Pretty much like Hebs described but,this way I can unplug the setup and plug it in all back stock if I ever need to, with out ever having my stock wire crimped or spliced. Not that it will ever likely happen. I also wanted the switch for any inexperianced riders.

Thanks to Hebs for the write up, it helped greatly.

Has anyone tried the 660 mod of linking the light green wire to the green w/ white wire to utilize the override button? So it works as an override for both the diff lock and reverse? Don't know if it would work on the 700, but ran across it for the 660, and we have the wires the same, was wondering if it would work the same.
 
I think this was looked into by some people. It looks like it is different then the 660's. The limiter for the 700's seems to be tied into the ECU somehow.

From what I understand even with with a switch installed, you need to have the limiter disabled before you start the atv, or it won't work.

Thanks Molson!

I have already moutned two switches on the handlbar cover, so I'll use one of those for an over ride.

So to recap:
1. Run 1 wire from switch to green/white wire on egine. Either use a vampire clip, or bullet into stock wire.
2. Run another wire from switch to ground either on battery or starter ground.
3. Turn on switch (ground out green wire) before starting to override reverse.
4. Turn off siwtch anytime to remove the override.

Did I miss anything?

I'm sorry for the OCD recaps and questions, but I liek to fully understand what I'm about to do and don't want to waste my ride!

I have a guy from EBay swearing his kit works for the 700 like it does on the 660. Obviously with what y'all have yold me he's nuts!
 
It's Hebs's write up, so he should get the credit, I followed it too

. I just have a lot of time at work lol.

I'm pretty sure the ebay one does not work with the 700. There is a write up on HL as to why it's different then the 660 somewhere.

Anyway, like said, it sounds like you got it.

i like the idea of this mod but i have to ask...............can you hurt the bike with all that power in reverse? I know in my toyota its comin knowledge that you are more likly to spin a ring and pinion set in reverse under sever load. And the front RP is more likey to go in forward because your running the rear backwards to spin the tires forward. Anyhow .............what im getting at there must have been a reason for the revs to be kept down that much.

does your rev light still come on when in rev? i just pulled the bullet connector off the engine & grounded it & it works but i have no rev light.[/b]
Nope. While it's overidden, there is no rev light. Some of us did it with a switch so you can turn the limiter back on so to speak, if needed.

sorry if this sounds stupid but if we want this permenant we can just unplug it cut the end and ground the wire going to the ecu correct.. we arnt grounding the sensor but the wire going to it.
