reverse linkage adjustment for 2011 venture

[gkerf]

When I put it in reverse it just grinds or slips. It's a manual shift/ linkage.
Is there a way to adjust the linkage? Or any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you for posting the above link. That solved my problem as a new Yamaha owner/sledder.

Cheers

You could remove the right side body panel. A shorter than normal 10mm wrench helps too.

Finaly did it today as my lower back said it was ok for me to do the job . I removed side panel and unclip the liquid cool hose and moved it outta the way over the brake caliper without disconecting it. i was able to fit my 10mm key tool that came with the sled and loosen the nuts.

First try got it worst so i turn the adjustment the other way and voila ! Now it goes to reverse without grinding and it stays in reverse no matter what and mind you i wasnt on snow , i was on dirt and gravel with my snow tracker carbide .Meaning with that amount of ground resistance my gear would have pop out big time before ! hope it helps somebody else. Thx to the brains here !

I hear you. I tweaked my back yesterday while working on my RS GT (head gasket). And of course, we're getting a major dump of snow today.
