recoil

[summit800]

can you get the recoil out of a 2013 800 pro without loosening the motor? tell me how if you know how?

Ball hex socket with misc extensions/ wobbly's will get it. Keep band-aids handy and plan on cursing plenty.

Any particular reason you don't want to do it the easy way?
Removing the two mag side motor mount bolts is fairly straightforward.

I think Id have to remove the skid plate to get at the 2 motor mounts

No, you just need to take the muffler off and then there are two large cap head bolts you can get to through holes in the side casting

Summit, why are you pulling the recoil if you don't mind me asking? I was going to inspect mine this year, but spent more time scratching my head after finding a hole in the recoil casing with tape covering it (came from the factory like that). Do you have the same thing? Re-covered or left open?

No,something is wrong with it, rope doesn't want to go back in ,and it got caught on something and put a cut in the rope

Tape over the hole helps prevent foreign objects-- screws, rivets heads, etc from falling into recoil housing that could get caught up in stator or flywheel pickups.

Re-install tape over hole on top-- there is also a similar hike on the bottom that you should cover as well.

The big spring was broke inside, just had to heat it up red and rebend the end to make a new hook

I've seen the heat and bend break after a few rides.
I wouldn't chance having to take it apart in the backcountry again for $28.

Fixing recoils sucks.
I preventative maintenance mine with synthetic winch line on every sled.

Took one off the other day. Did not lift the motor. Pita . I used regular L allen wrench but cut it to the correct depth. For inbetween the recoil and the frame. I would probably lift the motor next time.
