thats pretty ballzy! last year my friends rope broke in muni at a gas station. before he could throw the handle in anger i grabbed it from him and started it with the remaining rope. we rode back to the motel (luckily we stayed at algar falls!) and fixed it in the heated garage. winding the spring wasnt fun, but we got it fixed in an hour. good thing richierich brought extra rope! ;)! i sure hope the rope doesnt break on my pro x, the motor has to be pulled to get at the recoil! :o| #$%&*

i learned when using the buddy system on recoil springs, to get my hands out faster than the other guys when things go bad! lol! some things are harder, some are easier between polaris and yamaha. i definatly like lifting the polaris skid better than the viper skid. my back is still hurting, i need to get in shape! :o|

Yea agreed on that, polaris suspensions are much easier to install than the proactions.
