How to Put a 1988 Yamaha 350 Warrior in Reverse

The 1988 Yamaha Warrior 350 was one of the world's first racing all-terrain vehicles. It featured a four-stroke 348-cc engine, electric recoil start, six-speed transmission, and a ground clearance of 5.3 inches. Its sleek and lightweight design makes it ideal for obtaining high speeds and performing dangerous jumps. The ability to drive this vehicle in reverse was a standard feature of all Warrior 350s in 1988. However, if engaged wrong, the reverse feature could cause great damage to both the transmission and the engine.
