Im not sure if this is the right category to post this in, but all you utility guys listen up. I was riding my dads electric shift rancher back to the shed the other day and down shifted from 3rd to 2nd and it died, so i tried shifting to nuetral, and the 2 in the gear position box on the digital display was flashing and it wouldnt go into nuetral. I went riding the other day and it was fine, then I washed it and washed under the fenders where all the electrical is with a hose, then dried it off, and the next day it was doing this. IM really confused and hes gettin pissed, please help me out.

Yea check all the grounds in the battery, check the carb is getting gas, all the normal stupid stupid stuff you wouldnt think of.

we had it out yesterday, and he shifted it into nuetral with the suipplied tools and started it up, and it hasnt done it since. But i donno. Lets just hope it doesnt again.

Pretty common with the ES Honda models. There is a sensor that needs to be replaced. If the quad is new enough, Honda will probably warranty it. In my opinion, there should have been a recall for that problem, since almost everyone I know with any of the ES models has had that problem.
