have an 07 650 xt
my over ride switch on the console dosen't activate anything in reverse
i think its supposed to allow faster speeds in reverse
anything would help
thanks

Thats what its for.

Very good question, mine has never worked

One thing you must remember is that you have to be in 4wd for that override to work. It will not work in two wheel drive. I know I have run into that problem with a lot of my customers.

Great info, give it a try guys and give eaac your findings.

eaac is correct, the override switch works in 4WD reverse. It protects the diff gears which are not as strong in reverse operation as they are in forward operation.

Great info, you guys don't know how valuable this kind of infor is for the members. Thanks

It needs to be in 4 wheel drive first and then it will work

Has anyone figured out how to bi pass it yet?

Why? All that would result in is broken diff gears. It doesn't limit your top speed in forward drive. It's strictly a safety to keep you from overpowering your diff in reverse 4WD.
Any helical cut gear (helical cut gears are quieter and stronger in one direction) is designed for it's strength in one direction, the opposite direction is weaker. Hence the need for the limiter in reverse 4WD.

Now if you want to improve your ignition performance, hopefully a few companies will have new CDI control units out soon.

 

[eaac]

On the 650 model there is a CDI already out for them and it does override the reverse limiter. I have them, so if you want a price shoot me a p.m.

Darryl is right. Not only is it hard on the bevel gear, but they can get a little hard to control in reverse if you start getting some speed.

 

[Desertcat]

What do your really gain by using an aftermarket CDI?

 

[eaac]

It changes the timing a little and raises the rev limiter. You don't gain a lot, but you do get some.

Actually, it DOES limit your speed in forward drive! (2008 XTX700efi) At approx 90-92 kph, my engine cuts out (rpm or speed limiter?), but if I hold the reverse over-ride switch down at around 88 kph, it'll pull right up to 100 kph! Just to be sure, I did let off the switch at 95 kph and yup, she died! I would assume (I hate that word!) that the other models are the same??

I've heard from a couple guys the same thing. But according to AC factory guys, it's not designed to do that. Others I've talked to say nothing happens for them in forward. But hey, if it gains you a few more mph, cool. What have others experienced? I know my XTZ doesn't cut out at top speed, it just doesn't go any faster.

Actually my buddy told me about it and I was.........well, pessimistic. But when I tried it on mine, it definately worked!

I have actually been told that the XTZ is limited to 85mph but I bet none of us have hit that yet. I will let you all know real soon.

HOLY SH*T !!!! That's approx 140+ kph!! THAT IS FAST !!

I've had mine to 82mph and it just seemed to have no more to pull faster. It didn't cut out or act like it was hitting a limiter. But the engine is still loosening up some, maybe if it works up to 85mph then we'll see.Next time I talk with an engineer from AC, I'll ask them.

Where you in 4 hi when you did this.
