I just did one but I had the unique situation where the speedo was broken, handlebar switch was broken, and the reverse lockout was broken as was the override button, I eliminated the entire system and just ran hot to a lighted rocker switch then to the coils. It’s a 24 year old bike, not putting hundreds of dollars in parts in it. The sportsman seems to have an on demand type system where the front does nothing until back slips, this can cause it to engage in reverse if you are turning sharp enough otherwise it seems to work perfectly.
Ok... just having the missing 4x4 on my 2001 right now. To summarize, just install switch at the 2 brown wires, or were others jumpered as well. Thank you!

It's 9:15pm Monday, my problem is the wires got pulled out of the switch on the handle bars. So I wanted to bypass it . On my 09 800HO sportsman.

Switch installed between two brown wires. 12v+ to I believe the gray wire.
If I was just to buy a new speedometer would my 4 wheel drive work. My old speedometer still works for mileage but not the speedo
Did you try it yet
What years does this work on
I believe 98 to 2002
