Electric start

extremeattack · Nov 13, 2012

Who got their sleds with electric start delete? I haven't checked but I heard the electric starts don't come with a pull cord.
I ordered electric start delete.

True, they do not have a pull start. That is why I order mine with rope start and add the electric. It is very easy to install, all the wiring is already there. Bolt in - plug in - and go.

Pull start

Or you can add the pull start for $160.00 as to 600.00 for E start

re

that,s 160 for the recoil plus you still need plastics and other goodies

I wanted the pull start backup, so got elec. start delete, and added elec. start at dealer. Works great! Hope to ride it in the next few weeks ...:bounce:

Leave it under the hood

If it is just for back up, I think you can leave the pull start under the cover. Of course you would have to open the side panel to start it, but at that point it is a small sacrifice to avoid getting your tool kit out and pulling the belt shroud off. This was a suggestion from my dealer. I thought it was a pretty good alternative and you only have to put out the 160, less if you buy online

I had 4 sleds with E start and Shorai lightweight batteries last year. 1 Pro and 3 ETECS. The E start NEVER failed to start any of the sleds. Not one time. YMMV.

had a buddy with an 07 estart .. .it would only work on his trailer and failed every other time

why get an estart when etec starts with one pull .. sure wish i had an estart a few times I rolled the ol' rev and was pulling like a mad man

estart option was $300 when I snowchecked (got the option between 3 year warranty, wrap or estart, all cost the same)

3 year warranty, no brainer

I ordered my XM with estart. It probably wasn't necessary for the etech but loved it on my '08 800R so decided better safe than sorry. I paid for the estart and took the 3yr warranty as well.

There was a thread last spring about falling rpms on the etech and some speculation that battery sleds weren't having this problem because of the extra juice for the efi system. Not sure I was on board, but just another reason I decided to go estart again.

I had trouble with connections in the handlebar pod last year that necessitated using the rope start. I therefore decided to order the pull start kit as well and plan on just leaving the pull handle behind the plastics.

I figure nothing can be as much of a pain in the *** as my 670X for pull starting so I didn't worry about this sled.

Haha.
I guess u never pulled on an 01 Polaris 800!
Makes the 670x feel like a kids sled. Lol
But I hear ya.
Estart is nice when ur in a bad spot and ur holding the sled from rolling down a hill and cant reach the handle let alone pull on it.
