[mq32hunter]

I have a 98 mm 700 triple that ive broke 3 pull ropes on this winter. It seems something is rubbing on the rope or vice versa. Anbody else had trouble with this?

The recoil is fine. The rope itself is getting damaged between the handle and the recoil. Is there anything that a guy could do to protect it?

There should be nothing touching it, do you have it routed through the radiator hose holder at the top of the chaincase ?

I will check that out when I put it back together this week. I dont recall that. Thank you!

That's a different rooting then mine.

Thanks for that picture! I had it wrong this whole time.

Happens a lot, actually had that pic for a buddy who couldn’t remember how it went also, glad you got it fixed!

Well my problem is not solved, that bracket is busted off. Any ideas what else a guy could do?

I have used a 1'+ long screen door spring to thread the rope thru. This was on a JD JDX4 but it worked.

Just buy a new chain case cover, very cheap on eBay.
