i have gone through so many recoils for this sled ive owned to of these sleds does anyone know a fix or a upgrade u can get for this?

I dont recall if they had gone to the plastic recoils by 2001. If so, get a 2006-2007 Mach Z 1000 recoil. They cost the same, its a direct swap for the 600/800 plastic recoil and they're built alot tougher.

There is if you look back in the posts, Im not sure who builds them but they have a metal replacement for the crap plastic ones.

Not sure exactly who you are directing that question to?

I am the one selling them.

We have them on two of our sleds. And I have ran the first one on mine for several years. The second sled only about 3 yrs now. ???

I put some time on them before trying to sell them.

I replaced one on my 700 and 800 (stock plastic) on my 700 With a after market can I have had no problems with my recoil. On my 800 with the stock can its melting again.

I put one of the older clamp on metal recoils off of a 98 670 ho and installed a rope for a King Cat and so far no problems, you will need to change the adapter from the bolt on style (plastic recoil) to the clamp on.

Ive had same issues. \Take it appart and clean all the grease out with brake clean. reassemble dry.
problem is brake dust enters and jams up the cog.\'

You're getting BRAKE dust in your recoil?


What kind of riding are you dooing that you use brakes? Let alone that often?

And how is it getting into your housing?
