Would anyone know how to disable limiters for diff lock and reverse? Really holds you back when stuck in the snow.

Limiters are put into place for safety reasons. I highly ill-advise against bypassing any limiter. You can bypass the rev limiter without physically modifying it by holding down the rev limiter button on the left hand side of the handlebars. This will give you more power in reverse. Not sure if it has any affect in diff lock. And welcome to the Forum.

I agree with ajl in general, safety is important.

I’ve been riding ATVs since when they only had three wheels. Suzuki had the first four wheeler on the market in 1986. I enjoy it. I’ve broke some bones doing it. I’ve busted up a couple bikes pretty good too. It’s probably been since around 2000 or so rev limiters came into common usage. I don’t like them, but I haven’t removed any yet. But I also don’t play in deep mud, although I do like snow. Where I’m at, the snow is wet. Once you run out of ground clearance, the ATV is pretty much done moving on its own accord on tires.

If a person has the skill level and specific usage to not need all of the nannys or to otherwise modify a bike, myself I say go ahead on it so long as no one besides yourself might be impacted by doing so. Keeping in mind many of us have others that depend on us.

That said, here’s a link to a YouTube video as to how to disconnect the diff lock rev limiter (pull pin 14 out of the ECU).

I just did a quick Google search to find that. I’m sure there’s similar for the reverse rev limiter. IIRC, I’ve seen both discussed in years past on this forum as well.

So question. Why agree with my assessment of not fiddling with the rev limiter yet you supply a link on how to actually modify it..? Seems counter intuitive and defeats the purpose playing it safe by disabling a feature meant to protect the engine and it’s components.

I think some of the limiters are to stop manufactures getting sued in countries where people do dumb things and then try to blame someone (with lots of money )else.
My big bear required one to stomp on the brake before shifting forward to reverse .......that lasted about 5mins after getting it home . Some dire situations you just wouldnt get away with that . A bit of backwards-forwards can build you a launch ramp to facilitate an escape, and I think when every bone in your body is screaming at you to get the firetruck outa there ,you dont want to be standing on the brake whilst the edge of the bank your on is crumbling away.
But aj is correct in that its all very well bypassing safety devices for YOUR use but if others unaware of the mods use the vehicle in an emergency and find it doesnt work like it should ........well you might not get the best possible outcome.

I’m presuming the OP is fully grown and functioning. A question was asked, I provided my pontification on the matter and answered a part of the question.

I can agree with one person, disagree with another on the same point and still try to offer something useful.

On the new Honda's you just push and hold the start button for the over ride.

I don't understand the desire to over-ride the "limiter" on the differential lock. You just flip the lever on mine and it locks and you're locked until you unflip the little lever. Isn't that the same on a 2019? There is nothing limited that I'm aware of. I only use it to get unstuck, however, because when the front is locked it's really hard on axles and joints and the diff when you steer so I leave it off except for the chore of getting unstuck.

 

[ajl719]

I do the same, I only utilize diff lock if absolutely necessary. Come to think of it, I believe I’ve only used diff lock like 2 or 3 times since I bought my ‘19 750 back in early May of 2020. Heck, I drive in 2wd pretty much all the time as well and only ever really use 4wd if I need extra traction.

 

[TBR]

The only time I needed to use the override was going uphill on a snowy and icy hill, I needed all 4 spinning to make the hill.

 

[PilotJet]

Yes, myself as well. I've only used the diff lock about 3 times while in 4wd. Twice being stuck in deep snow and once trying to get over a very large corrugated steel pipe over a washed out trail and it pulled me right out each time.

Are you serious? Stuck in the snow and going to burn your engine up and you want advice how to do it faster! 👍

Their is a defeat for the reverse limiter. Look it up!
