02 Viper recoil rope???????????

[..SNAKEBIT..]

WHAT should I buy?? size strength? how long?
dont want to buy a piece of crap.
I would like to buy before I tear apart to replace
is there a fix for the rubbing on the chaincase bracket?

I just bought one last week at the dealer, that is very good rope.

YOU DA MAN RICH!
save me from going and looking, but I dont want to bend over! LOL

 

[richierich]

$4 your cost.retail is $7.77.is that ok?

 

[98srx6]

snakebit, there is some kind of plastic insert that you can get to eliminate the rubbing on the chaincase. Your dealer should be able to get you one cheap.

 

[richierich]

oh ya.the insert is $1.92 retail.i dont have one here though.

went through 4 starter ropes in 7 thousand miles.....3 plastic inserts in about 2 weeks....just took a round file and went to town on the case till it quite frayin the rope....a year later and the same rope, id say its fixed.....

 

[yamahay]

Every fall cut the knot take another inch and re-tie, should be good for several years before rope length becomes an issue. That's what I've done several times when I notice some fraying at a rub point.

this WAS/IS a dealer RECALL. Call your dealer, they should/will replace the rope and put in the plastic dealy FOR FREE--

Aircraft cable fixed forever

If you are looking for a permanent fix use aircraft cable. I've used steel cable for years in old Honda trikes and other worn out junkers with torn recoil cases. You can pull right through the sheet metal case forget replacing the button. Works perfect and I guarantee you won't break the cable. Remember to make the cable long enough not to bottom out the cable and break other parts.

 

[ISSUES]

My rope snapped tonight. I've got the recoil setup, but can't figure out how to route the rope to the handle! It shouldn't be this difficult. Anyone have a picture or able to describe where it goes? It obviously has to rub somewhere.
