  1. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    Hi there I am trying to use the electric start on my machine that previously worked. I have since replaced the battery (brand new today). I also put a new starter ring on in the spring. Now the electric start doesn’t seem to have enough power to turn the starter. It engages and clicks, but will...
  2. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    I just purchased the Kimpex Bendix replacement kit for my 06 Renegade 800 X and the new spring is 3/4” longer than my stock spring and seems too long. Has anyone used this kit? Also, what is the trick to installing the spring clip on the shaft?
  3. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    Hey guys I have finally had enough issues with my sled not starting when it's below zero. I bought a new Duracell battery and still have issues. I brought the battery back and they said it's fine. I have a 2015 renegade 800. I am looking to install a manual recoil. I seen a bunch online for 150...
  4. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    So yesterday we did about 150 miles and as I was leaving the gas station I took a wrong turn and as I put the sled into reverse it died. While Inspecting the starter/ring gear I noticed that the starter gear was stuck on the ring gear and not disengaging. After getting it off, I was able to get...
  5. REV-XP / XM Chassis - Mountain Sleds
    I'm new to sledding and working on these engines so I need some guidance on what my issue is. I have been on 3 trips mountain sledding with this thing and it was starting first pull the first time. It sat outside for like a month after the first trip and since then it has been incredibly hard to...

    I bought an '89 Citation in September from a local seller that had it for his grandchildren. When I was looking it over with the guy he mentioned that it had electric start but it didn't work, saying there was something missing 'down there' as he pointed to the clutch side. He mentioned that his...
  7. Skandic / Expedition
    I have a 2003 Skandic 500F, I primarily use it for grooming trails a few times a year. At the start of last year my battery went bad so I replaced it and it still would not start with the starter (pull started fine). I checked the starter and it did not seem to be getting power, so this week I...
  8. Skandic / Expedition
    So I have a 2017 900 ace WT that I inherited from my late grandfather. It hasn’t given me any problems for 3 years besides a dirty fuel screen but now it doesn’t want to start. I hooked up a jumper pack to it and it fired right up so I thought “oh sweet maybe I just have to charge the battery”...
  9. MXZ / Legend / Summit / Grand Touring / Formula
    The specific sled in question is a 1995 Formula SL; however, the electric start is not unique to this model or year as many of you will know. I installed a new key switch and new battery as part of refurbishing it. It normally starts and runs great. However, occasionally when the key is...
  10. Skandic / Expedition
    Hello I have a 2015 Expedition Sport 550f. I just wired a 12v plug and a visor jack into my starter relay. Now I am wondering if that was a good idea... Will having electrical accessories wired into the starter relay be an issue? The circuit is constant and the relay has a 30A fuse. Each of...

  12. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    Hey guys, looking to see if you can help me figure out an issue with my 2013 Renegade X 800 Etec. This season I've been having a heck of a time starting it. Most of the time now, when I put the DESS cap on the post and then hit the start button, nothing happens. I don't mean that it doesn't...
  13. MXZ / Legend / Summit / Grand Touring / Formula
    I recently picked up a 1995 Grand Touring SE with the 670 in it. The sled had a starter and battery already on it but no ring gear for some reason. I picked up a ring gear for it and a new battery. Made sure the starter still worked and after cleaning the terminals on it everything was...
  14. REV Chassis - Mountain Sleds
    Hi, I recently bought a 2006 Summit X 800 HO and the starter is toast. I already tested the battery, RER/Start button and solenoid and they are all fine. There is 12.5 +/- 0.5 volts getting to the starter post. It just wont spin. If I spin it by hand it will turn a couple turns then crunch and...
  15. General Sledding Discussions
    We were out riding yesterday, when the electric start on our 2015 Renny X started acting up. Some times it started no problem, sometimes, you heard a hum but it did not start and we had to rope start her. Don't know if it's a fuse, connection, solenoid, battery. Don't know what to check, this is...
  16. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    I have a used starter from a 2014 550f renegade that I need to bench test out of the machine. I thought I could do this by hooking it up to a strong 12v battery but it did nothing. So, am I doing something wrong or is it toast? Thanks!
  17. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Renegades/Freeride/Backcountry
    Ok so starter won't engage the flywheel....I've seen posts on this before but I can't find a solution yet. I've got 12.6 volts to the solenoid 11.3 coming out the other side when starter button depressed...if I jump the solenoid which should give the starter 12.6 volts it still won't engage. I'm...
  18. MXZ / Legend / Summit / Grand Touring / Formula
    First timer here at the site. At 58 years old I finally got the sled bug and bought two doo's for my wife, and myself. Searched long and hard for a couple of great deals on low mileage sleds in mint condition. Now, I find my 95 formula z 583 is a brute to pull. After having a reportable dealer...

    Hey Guys, I'm new to the site and I hope someone can assist with an issue I have. I recently rebuilt an 86' Citation LSE and had her running like a charm last week, started with the key no problem, However, I did notice some issues with the headlight being very dim and figured I should get a...
