[DrDsRaptor]

Okay so yesterday we were out for our usual sunday blast and three or four times through the day I dropped into reveres when down shifting. I have the DR D reverse lever. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this or what is going wrong. I am defiantely not accidentally hitting the lever. Its only by downshifting. I am worried I am going rip out the tranny. PLEASE HELP>>>>me

The first thing that comes to mind would be the cable. I would check the adjustment on it first. Make sure it hasn't shortened up on ya some how. Other than that sombody smarter than me going to have to help ya. Hope this helps.

This is a very common problem with the DR. D rev lever. Try useing the search button! this has been talked about several times.

Ok so i dont have the reverse lever but i know i seen it on here several times. I just now did a search and found what the problem is and how to fix it. The problem is there is not enough slack/freeplay in the cable. The cable when hooked up is to tight and is always pulling on the cable. The way to fix it is to bend the tap on the frame that the cable goes threw right before it hooks up to the engine. If you bend this tab closer to the engine/trans the cable will now lossen up a bit and you will have enough freeplay to keep it from pulling you into reverse.
Heres a link for the install of the cable. But toward the bottom 2 sentences before "Summary" it talks about not having enough freeplay in the cable and how they fixed it. Also the last 2 pics that they have there shows the tab and them bending it. Hope this helps. JIM

The samething happen to me. All its the connection at the crankcase. If you look at your quad look under the front sprocket. theres two black connectors. Ones for neutral and ones for reverse. Take one off at a time and clean the post with a rag. Whats happening is the connection is getting dirty and the motor starts to retard the timing thats why your losing power. Like i said this is what i did and it worked. let me know if this worked. WOODY

Im not really sure what your talking about here. His problem is the bike keeps shifting into reverse. Going into reverse is all mechanical and nothing to do electrical. No sensors or wire put it into reverse. Also no where does he complain of of losing power as you stated with the retarded timming. Please re read his post and see if you still think he has a electrical problem. Thanks JIM

Thanks for the replies... :crazy: You guys were mild in the flaming category! So far I have only road my Raptor in the sand... No need for reverse, yet!!

You guys were mild in the flaming category!

Yea... Your right I think we can do better, but i think you got off easy do to the fact you sneeked that question in to a post already started. I dare you to start a new thread and see what happens. LOL :lol:

Look at the reverse lever on the engine the cable might have sliped out of its holder(where the end of the cable is)
