Warrior wiring issues

[hotrodlincoln69]

I am looking into buying a 01 Warrior. It will not start. The guy said he had it to the dealer and they told him that the wiring harness needs replaced because the reverse switch will not disengage. If I cut the wires running to the reverse switch will the bike start? Or is there anyway of bypassing the switch? I would really like to hear the bike run before I purchase it.

you Should be able to disconnect the switch I would think. It looks like the switch is on the trans.its item 12 on the picture
