Noisy recoil handle on 9R

[koolaid]

I know in the grand scheme of things that can go wrong, this seems minor but here it goes. My new 23 9R makes the most annoying sound, like cards in a bikes wheel spoke from the recoil handle vibrating in the plastic pocket where it rests. I have isolated it to this, as a simple grab of the handle will eliminate said noise.

Anyone have a simple fix?

wrap the handle or spots in gorilla tape?

Or slightly tighten up the rope at the handle.

Are you missing the rubber piece?

your dad was.

LMAO
that was easy.
More softballs please!!!

I don't see a rubber piece or where one might have detached. Just plastic on plastic.

He was referring to the piece of rubber on the end of the handle

Dude I had a 23 with same issue. I have a 24’ no issue . The 24 has some rubber around the base. Get that’l piece if Polaris sells it. I wrapped the handle with electrical tape on the 23 and it helped but yeah, annoying rattle

Literally the 9R is like a Harley. Parts regularly fly off it but it’s awesome when it’s working lol. I’m finding the 24’ better for some reasons…best sled I’ve owned so far, bar none, including lots of doos. Only 7 days of mountan riding so far, but 7 more planned next week. It’s been solid.

I checked Babbitt's online parts diagram on recoil assembly. No difference in parts listed between '23 & '24. Looks like I'll need to fab up some rubber straps of my own. Thanks for the help everyone

Just use some mastic tape. Super easy.

And/or just don't let your sled idle other than warming up with the truck radio blasting tunes... then WOT for the day or powered down.

Mine has a buzzing noise at low rpm, but not at idle. Like 4000ish rpm probably. Never thought about the pull handle but I'll have to check it next ride. My pipe heat shield does contact my bumper slightly, I need to figure out a solution for that too

 

[JH@CM]

My Poos are all rattle traps in low RPMs. They aren't made to idle quietly, apparently.

Exactly. Know your audience? Know your sled.

The 9R is bad ass but it’s a rattle trap. Get over it. I’d be more concerned about the clutch wizzing by my head as long as the engine makes it past 100 miles. Keep the Sat phone charged and stored heli contact info. Priorities.

Buy a cobra cord aluminum handle.


After a few rides listening to it rattle, you'll be wishing for the quiet plastic handle.

Yup, I have that too. I pulled it off and zip tied the rubber piece the stock handle had. All better.

I was gonna laugh at your problem and then I pictured it happening to me. Then I got annoyed by just imagining the sound. So brother, I feel your pain. haha

you should be way more concerned about the clutch hitting your head. Haha
