I ordered mine with out reverse so no broken bolt problems or shifting problems and I saved 9 lbs. and its for sale.
My push button reverse works flawlessly!
Maybe you yammy guys should ditch the antiquated levers and gears and move to a nice modern two-stroke!

what Joa said is totaly true. rock the sled back and grab the brake before you put in in reverse. works every time! im sure adjusting the linkange would help but ive never tried.

Anyone else reminded of that proverb even a fool can appear wise if he remains silent?
Your completely missing the point, the comment is not about an instruction manual on how to get it into reverse, but thanks for helping enlighten us...
Commenting on poor engineering, and design is by no stretch of the imagination whining and throwing a temper tantrum...blind loyalty because of brand is the epitome of ignorance...
Most of us are commenting because it is not up to par with typical Yamaha design...
Another issue that I just experienced first hand is the poor design of the oil tank...it is not supported enough, and it cracks...LOTS of them are cracking...it is a weak spot...
should we not mention anything about this too?

Your belt is most likely to tight. remove the shims from the three bolts on the back of the secondary. This will unload the drive train and make it much easier to shift.

This is DEFINITELY a big part of the issue...if you're stuck in deep snow and want to throw it in reverse, you need to get ALL of the load off the drivetrain. Sometimes easier said than done. Like TrippleBlack said, grabbing the brake to help isolate the gearbox helps.
I agree Woodies, lots of idiots on SW these days who dont contribute anything, just try to be d!ckheads and stir the pot. Price of growth, I guess.

agreed this has got to be the stupidest setup I have ever seen
Dave, I never had a chance to try and adjust the linkage on the sled. but yes, it was a pita to get the ol girl in reverse. it seemed sometimes I would try and move the sled ahead and back 4-5 times before I could get it to engage.
how's the sled running??

that would only make their problems worse.

Yep, I'm sure it does....'course it won't do a bit of good when the motor blows, but at least that little button will work great!!

my reverse linkage was hitting the footwell bracketry too.....this made it very difficult to get into reverse.
AND....the sleeve behind the handle freezes....spraying some oil in there eliminated the freezing. I broke the plastic handle off due to this freezing....bummer.
