01 reverse kit?????

[rmkboy]

Does anyone know if there is a reverse kit for a 2001 summit 800? and where to get it?

Yes. It was a dealer option that only went on 1 in 50 sleds. It is a different chaincase with all different parts. You might find one used off a formula or grand touring edition from +- 1999.

Be careful what you wish for. The only reason I know this is because I have one and the main reverse sprocket just broke. The gear alone is $251.99.

I can't find it used because the market is stronger for the whole reverse chain case.

Also if your chain case fails you will have no brakes. This is true even without, but more likely to fail with reverse.

reverse chaincase

I installed a used reverse chaincase in my 2000 800 summit. Bought on ebay. They are generally $300 . You need the shift linkage, the reverse beeper as well. Works great. No complaints. I do not understand where issue of brakes and chaincase comes from. Adding reverse adds one large reverse gear and the small countershaft.

Look on ebay!!!!
