Buddy 0 Posted May 18, 2022 I have a 2007 Honda foreman 500 es and when it’s not running it’ll shift into first and N, but as soon as I start it and let it idle about five minutes my N flashes and I don’t understand what’s wrong, I’ve replaced shift motor, and got 2 shift angle sensors, I’ve seen things about batteries and I’m just lost, any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 18, 2022 Hi, welcome to ATVHonda .... since you say it shifts ok not running , I would adjust the shift clutch and try that --- do you know about the shift clutch and it's adjustment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,751 Posted May 18, 2022 The flashing should be a pattern. For example, 13 flashes and then a pause would be error code 13, which is the throttle position sensor. Count the flashes and report back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy 0 Posted May 18, 2022 The Shift clutch is on the motor where you pop the nut loose and go counter clockwise until resistance the 1/4 turn clockwise right? and as far and any error code my N is flashing twice which I’m pretty sure I seen that as the shift buttons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,751 Posted May 18, 2022 I’m on my phone at the moment, but if you go to the tool bar at the top of the page you will see “service manuals“ Pull up your machines factory service manual and it will tell you which error code corresponds with your blinking dash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy 0 Posted May 18, 2022 It’s saying my shift buttons but I checked them their dry, and look phenomenal, I’ve seen many things about a battery but I’m not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,760 Posted May 19, 2022 They can be voltage sensitive so if your battery is getting weak or has a low charge it might give issues. Did you use honda angle sensors or aftermarket? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
