Riding on snowy roads from my house to my riding area with plenty of snow to dip into on the side.
First thing to happen was the speedo went out. Not a big deal, but I pulled over and checked wiring. I did not see anything so I kept on.
Sppedo came back, but now had some fuel level indicator I had never seen before. Still no big deal. However, at WOT and at idle the speedo goes out. Oh well keep riding and found GREAT untouched snow.
Now climbing in the trees (nothing crazy) get to the top and and lose forward momentum while still WOT and she revs and keeps revving so I kill it and jumped off as it kept revving. Finally it shut down.
So I checked the belt and all looked good. Checked to be sure track was on drivers and all looked good. So I fired it up and all was good, except it started in reverse
I had a difficult time getting out of reverse but managed and started home at this point.
Things were going well, but slowed for a steep gulley so as not to get bucked and started revving high and then popped into reverse but stopped revving. This is the last time this happened, but took longer to get it out of reverse.
Started home again. The speedo still going out at idle and WOT. Now, however, when it goes out the red wrench stays lit. Before nothing was lit, it seemed as though it was disconnected.
By the time I got home it just started to smell as though something was burning.
This morning when I went to start it, it was a hard start, but got going and idled fine.
Tried to put it in reverse and it would grind and sometimes pop in. Once in, very hard to get it out but would grind and eventually pop out.
Sorry for the long intro. Also, I am on the ipad in which I fat finger really bad so I apologize for the spelling and such.
At this time I have not opened anything up, but I am afraid of what I will find in my diamond drive
