Help identifying a part - TRX 70

[_brad_]

Hello all,

So, I picked up a Honda 1986 TRX 70 ATV and am in the process of restoring it. I came across this bolt on the left side of the motor that I'm unfamiliar with.

I have attached a picture pointing out the bolt.

I'm able to turn it left and right. It will either click left, or click right. I have no idea what this is for.

Any help would be great!


Thanks,
Brad

SHAFT, INDICATOR? Hmm, interesting. I wonder which way it should be turned... Left or right? lol

Check page 16 of the owners manual.

when you are in meutral the little red pointer will point to the N on the recoil side cover.

This bolt is screwed directly on the shift drum,turning it with a wrenct have the same effect that using the shifter.And yes it's a neutral indicator

As the guys said it's the indicator for what gear is selected. There should be a little white plastic piece with an e-clip holding it on that has a raised red part on it that points to an embossed arrow above a big "N" on the side case when in Neutral.

Hope this helps.

If you need a pic, let me know.

On an unrelated note - the cyclinder and head look so nice and clean compared to the rest. Interesting.

Exactly. Its just a nuetral indicator which is missing the indicator. Imagine that :)
