HONDA'S
FOURTRAX FOREMAN ES
Model Year 2000
Engine
-
ESP™ (Electric
Shift Program) features push-button upshifting
and downshifting. The rider shifts simply and
precisely with the press of the upshift or downshift
buttons mounted on the left handlebar. An onboard
electronic control unit (ECU) monitors information
from four sensors—engine rpm, countershaft speed,
shift drum position, and shift spindle angle—to
control the speed of the shift. Clutch engagement
speed varies according to rider style; the transmission
shifts more quickly when riding style turns
sporty. A neutral lockout at speeds greater
than 2 mph ensures available engine braking
when descending hills. To ensure smooth shifting,
the transmission cannot be shifted from neutral
to first gear or reverse gear at engine speeds
above 3000 rpm. ESP is not dependent on battery
condition, operating whenever the engine is
running. Should the rider ever need to shift
manually, the Foreman ES is also equipped with
an auxiliary shift arm in the tool kit.
