Features
& Benefits
Unique Features
- ES model features ESP(r) (Electric Shift
Program) for push-button upshifting and downshifting.
The rider shifts simply and precisely with the
press of the upshift or downshift button mounted
on the left handlebar. An onboard electronic
control module (ECM) monitors information from
four sensors--engine rpm, countershaft speed,
gear position, and shift spindle angle--to control
the speed of the electric shift motor's gear
and clutch engagement. Gear 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 battery-dependent,
operating whenever the engine is running. Should
the rider ever need to shift manually, the Rancher(tm)
ES is also equipped with an auxiliary shift
lever in the tool kit.
