My 2013 Rancher AT did that too. When I took it in to be serviced, I told them about it. Apparently the grease used from the factory for the shifter gets sticky and makes it do that. The dealer greased it with different grease and it hasn’t happened again.

Unfortunately I have found many employees struggle to learn complicated things. Personally I also would have preferred the foot shift model. But we purchased this ATV for sidewalk snow removal and we needed any employee to be capable of quickly learning how to drive. Also quickly shifting from forward to reverse is critical when doing snow removal. I’m not excited about the potential for a more complicated shift system but ultimately decided this was best.

There's nothing to worry about. Turn off the motor rock it back and forth. That's it I've had both and prefer the handlebar shift cuz I can shift crossing the river and not get my feet wet. Were with a foot shift you have to get your feet wet to shift gears. Both are great it all depends on your riding terrain.

When I purchased my new Foreman 520 a couple of years ago, I was adamant about it being a manual transmission quad. I wanted a Honda with a foot-shifted transmission and I waited until one came into my local dealership. I literally emhad walked in just to see if they had any new inventory, and they had taken delivery of an olive green Foreman 520 just hours earlier. Once I learned that it had a foot-shifter, I sat down and did the paperwork right then & there. I have not had a single problem with it over 2.5 years of ownership. Fires right up and shifts like a dream. I love the reliability of the foot-shifted Honda quads. May not be speed kings, but they've got plenty of torque down low, where it counts. I live in the Rocky Mountains, and I will tell anyone that cares to listen that the manual shift Honda quads are like a mountain goat on these switchbacks in the Rockies. Geared low, just what you want.

I agree. If this machine was only for me I 100% would have gone with the foot shift. However for ease of use from employees, wife, kids I decided to go with the DCT. Sometimes I wish I would have gone with the manual shift. But the DCT is definitely nice for plowing snow.

The gears don’t line up in the transmission that’s why it does that cause I can’t shift into gear. You have to rocking back-and-forth sometimes to fix it. That’s the same problem on my 2020 Honda Rubicon.
