I'm trying to replace a frayed rope ont the recoil of a 99 sxr. I've heard that there is a couple tips on this site to keep from screwing up the spring in it. Help!?

You dont have to take it apart at all. If the rope is still in it, ull it out as far as it goes and then stick a screw driver or something inbetween the recoil and the housing. Cut the old rope out and then feed the new one in. It works great. Just be careful that the screw drivr doesnt slip out. If the old rope is broke then you have to wind it manually and then do the same thing.
