New '25 rtvx

[ssefick]

Good evening. Brand new owner '25 rtv x2. Great little machine.

I know these can be a touch 'tractory' with regards to shifting a little hard.

Any help would be great. Tips, tricks, etc. I just can't figure out the pattern.

Range selector:
Hard shift procedure: mash break to engage pressure release valve on hst. Sometimes this works. If not give the engine a touch of revs. Sometimes this works. If not then put in neutral then rock back and forth.

Any tips or tricks?

4wd:
4wd is hard to shift in put. Put in neutral if I can and shift into 4wd. Can be hard to shift out. Same procedure as above.

Throttle cable:
The throttle cable (braided cable attached to Governor) seems to be really slack is this expected? I'll look at the manual and check, but seems a little 'over sloppy'.

Thanks!

Let it break in real good and most of the stiff shifting gets better. Note that i think the 2025 models are not straight cut gears anymore.

Welcome to the forum. The new bevel gears should improve shifting after break in period. Normal brake pressure is enough to open the relief valve. The dealer should have the cable adjusted but after a while the cable may stretch and need readjustment. It takes about two seconds for the pressure to relieve after holding brake pedal. After coming to a stop put in reverse and backup a little this will relieve gear bind to make it easier to put in and out of four wheel drive. Great machine pictures when you can....
