FishinMitch91 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have a Honda Recon ES and when I started it today it ran and warmed up but then when I put it in first gear it died. Know when I tried to put it into nuetral the 1st gear light just blinked. It won't change into nuetral the light just blinks in first gear. Hopefully it's just something stupid and easy to fix for my cousins machine. THanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver55 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Possibly a bad angle sensor. I believe they had a recall or service bulletin on these a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srj Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 With the key on, try gently rocking it (a little push on the handlebars) and shifting it into N. Mine has occasionally done that and a bit of movement has allowed shifting out of gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkydm Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I had same problem with my rancher. It was the shift position sensor and it is easy to replace yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
