i was wondering if anyone had problems with there pull cords on a 07 rev 800r
pull cord
- Thread starter 07rev800R
- Start date
I havent but a friend did. His froze or something due to moisture and couldnt start his, evidently had to tow. Can't remember the specifics.
Yep, mine broke last year (luckly the sled was still on the trailer). Dealer said it was a common problem.
did they replace the whole thing or just the parts inside
I've had mine "get funny" on me several times where it misses the catch inside somehow when I grab the handle and just gave it a yank. Now that I'm scared I seem to find myself gently cycling the motor a few times before I give it the real pull. I think thats why I really ordered the electric start (07 800R). My 04 800 HO broke the plastic guts inside the assembly 2 times last year and thats no fun to have to use a rope on the open clutch in 3 ft of pow! I would like to know whats up also.
Rebuilt mine with factory guts after wasting my time with cheap aftermarket "rebuild" kits(waste of time and effort!). Then did a little mod to keep things aligned and tight in the assembly ... been working great ever since, although I still ALWAYS take up the rope slack prior to pull starting.
They replaced the whole unit. Can't remember exactly how much they charged, but I think it was about $100 or so including labor. I think anyone with any mechanical ability could do it no problem. I was in a hurry to get back on the hill and meet up with my buds so I just had them do it.
I had my recoil explode last year and all the plastic parts got sucked into the stator and ruined the stator. It was a bad deal
