How do you bypass foot brake interlock for high

[Speeddrive1]

my 03 and 04.5 700s both had it. You only had to step on the brake when going in to park and hi range.

Only the first 2*3 model years with in*line shifting had the lockout feature. You shouldn't have to press the brake very hard unless something is misadjusted. If a person mainly trail rides in High, this feature can be a bit annoying. If you plow snow, it is actually nice. You can "slap" the handle all the forward and you will be in Low and yank it all the back and be in reverse....no thought needed to always land in the proper gear. If you are stuck in thick mud and are trying to work back and forth it can also be nice.

To bypass it, you can disconnect the spring from the foot brake lever. Find a piece of wire, pull the plunger rod outward and tie it off so it can't retract. Another option is to thread the plunger out completely and plug the bore with a very short screw...I believe it is a 3/4 " coarse thread.

My 02 700 had the "lockout" for high and park, as does my 05 800. As somebody else stated, it's nice for plowing, but pretty much a PITA for anything else....

Ditto on my 07 800. To start the engine while in gear you have to apply the brake, either foot or hand. but you can shift to any gear any time.

I cut a coat hanger (metal) and replaced the spring so I do not have to push brake pedal to shift.Just remove spring and put a good strong wire to hold the lock out.This is on a 2004 Sportsman 600..
