Is there a problem with my Polaris Bendix?
I have an 01 sportsman 400 that the starter spins and engages for a couple revolutions then kicks out before the motor starts or doesnt engage at all. I searched a bunch of forums and they all say to replace the bendix.
What causes a Bendix to malfunction on an ATV?
What goes in them is usually the very fine small spring that holds the friction weights together. It only takes a small amount of corrosion or debris to make it malfunction. Other issues with a bendix are very obvious to the eye, not so much with that small spring……good luck
Are there any issues with the Bendix Springs?
Other issues with a bendix are very obvious to the eye, not so much with that small spring……good luck Amazon has those bendix for $26.75, just make sure you soak the bendix in MotorKote, Castrol syntec for a day or 2 then drain very good and install. The thrust washer goes on the motor side or starter gear side of the Bdix
What’s the best price to buy a Bendix?
Your best bet will be to buy a new bendix. db electrical sells them for around $30 and they also sell a stater and bendix kit for around $75.00. You will be better off in the long run.
