I'm picturing a little "wedge" that you would stick behind the reverse lever, which sits just under the brake lever. Pretty much the same function as overadjusting the cable, just a little different way of getting there.

Jake - you are exactly right , I ordered one and that's what it was.

If memory serves (and and if I'm not confused with another model) there is an electric switch on the hand brake that will still require you to pull it in just a bit, but not a full 'squeeze', just enough to get the lever out of it's seat to enable the electric shifter mechanism. The red button, the associated cable, and it's adjuster are purely the mechanical "block" mechanism. Just to clear this up. I did this recently to my bike, and Jake you are partially correct. If you find the adjusting sleeve located on cable 3 in this exploded diagram: It will be the one with a nut that locks the adjusting sleeve in place. www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0364/handle_switch_cables_-_450s_/handle_switch_cables_-_450s_.cfm?man=ho&groupid=2520&parent=2480Loosen the locking nut (I believe it took a 9mm open ended wrench). Turn the adjusting sleeve out, so you are seeing more of the thread. Keep adjusting it out while tapping down on the shifter (going into reverse). You should feel the shifter getting tighter. Once you reach the point it bypasses the reverse lock the shifter will go into reverse without touching the reverse button and/or brake lever. Tighten the lock bolt back up. Once this is done you DO NOT have to touch the reverse button or touch the brake lever. You just keep tapping down on the shifter and it will go from neutral to reverse. FYI I did this on my 01 450s as well as an 05 500 foreman S. Hope this helps you all out. Blessings, TRHOD |

That's exactly how I did mine. The only thing I wasn't positive of at the time is if the ES models had an electric safety on the brake handle. That is a normally open switch that needs to be closed (or it's circuit modified to reflect the same) in order to allow the ES mechanism to select reverse.

Jake,
I'm not sure about the ES model. The bikes that I've done this to were all S models.
Blessings,
