I recently purchased a 2005 Polaris Classic. It has only 107 miles on. Was started every season but never really driven...owner was scared of it...long story. Anyway I can't get it to go into reverse. I pulled the chain case cover off and all the gears look pristine. When I loosen the retaining coupler to decrease the spring pressure I can grab onto the reversing gear and pull it out by hand. But once I tighten the retaining bolt I can't get it to budge.
I even put the chain case cover back on so that the fork was over the reversing spine but once again I can't get the lever to budge.
Does anyone have any ideas, I don't really want to take it the polaris dealer (40 miles away), but I am at a loss as to why it will not engage. It is as though the spring is too strong?
Please any help would be muchly appreciated.
