Welcome Smitty I cant help you but I`m sure one other member has some ideas. It would be better if you posted in the Honda ATV section looking for help. Welcome again and hope your going to get some help

Welcome to the site My friend had a ruby 500 and it did the exact same thing and it was the "angle sensor" that went. There is a way to reset the computer so it goes away but the problem will come back again untill the sensor is replaces. Let us know what you find out. Good Luck.
