Reverse light blinks when in park - ATVs

Not sure why but Honda in their infinite wisdom integrated the 4WD among other functions into the speedometer on a few years. If your speedometer doesn't work either chances are you need a new speedometer. At like $400! It is what happened to mine. If you start run the engine at all with a dead battery (hand start, jump etc.) it WILL fry the speedo, the 4WD the reverse bypass, etc. I learned the hard way.

probably needs adjustment of shift cable.

sounds like linkage problem check linkage

Check to see if one of the shifter rods behind the side pannel are bent.this usually happens due to lack of lube end people try to force it into gear.

as soon as your bike begins to high idle it will not fall into gear you probably will need to set your linkage on your shifte

Bad earth, check for loose wire, might also be dirty due to exposure to water etc.

Have you checked your belt condition? I have a grizzly 700 & it cut down to 10mph max and sputtered when my belt shredded in the housing. I think it does this to maintain what belt is left and to keep from damaging parts. I never had the blinking light that I can recall though. just a thought.

im having the same problem did you find out what it was

remember on early models there was a safety pin that had to be held to switch to reverse,,,your 500 does this automatically so check for safety pin hookup. Could be brush or
grass jammed in where it moves.
