Of course someone posts an easier way to do it a couple days after I do it.

I am about halfway between that dealer and the CFMoto offices in Plymouth.

Thanks guys! I fixed it. I actually adjusted it so I barely need to touch the brake to shife to reverse and park. A little more adjustment and I would not need to touch the brake at all to shift. Here is how I did it:

Removed right side side panel and foot rest. (May have been able to remove the panel behind the wheel but it was a pita so didn't)

This gave easy access to the adjustment cable. See photo. It is right in front in the circled area.
I adjusted bith the top and bottom. Bottom: loosen botton lock nut (1). Then turn shaft counter clockwise as you look down on it. It does not take many turns to have a major affect. Tighten the lock nut when done. Top? Same thing, but loosen the top lock nut (2), hold the shaft, and turn the top. Test, tighten locknut when done.
Reassemble bike. You may need 2 people because it is a pita to get back together.

Unnfortunately I went through the service manual and could not find anything that helped. Do you know if this is like a honda clone where I could use the same instructions that honda owners use? Thanks for your help.

I need to really press hard on the brake to be able to shift my 2016 400s into reverse. Does anyone know how to adjust this so it owuld need less pressure, or disable to need for the brake altogether? I'd still stop and use the brake, it is just that it takes way to much pressure to release the shifter so I can go into reverse. Thanks for any help! I searched the web but could not find anything on it.
