TEST 8 -- -- RESET SPEEDOMETER
If the key switch or engine stop switch is turned off with
the vehicle in motion, the speedometer indicator
needle may stick, indicating the speed at which the
vehicle was traveling when the speedometer lost
power. For example: If the ATV was traveling 30 mph
when the engine stop switch is turned off, speedo may
indicate 30 mph until reset:
1. Operate vehicle at a speed greater than indicated
on speedometer (past point where needle is stuck).
Needle should return to normal operation.
2. In the above example, the ATV speed would have
to exceed 30 mph to reset.
