Does anyone know roughly how much it costs to put electric start on a sled?

I have a 2005 380 mxz for my kids and thought it may be worth it for them.

From a dealer a kit is around $500.

dont be teachin 'em to be pansy's.

tell them if they cant start it they cant ride it. you'll be suprised at how well they do.

Excellent advice especially with the 500.00 price tag.

I have seen a couple kits on ebay recently they sold at around $300.00 and you would still have to get a battery.

I like your idea, Upersledder!

That is what I tell everyone that wants to try my Honda xl 600. No kick stand and no compression release. Not too many ride. some times not eaven me. My rule if you can start it you may ride it.

Gave my kids upers advice. They have no prblem at all getting it started. Hell, they start it easier than I can...

mmrosshere · 12-12-2006, 06:42 PM

Way to go. Are you realy surprised

upersleder · 12-12-2006, 06:55 PM

whats my share of all that cash ya saved? not to mention your kids not bein wimps

badbrad · 12-12-2006, 07:14 PM

that rule dosen't work if even your dad take half an hour trying to start it. thank god i'm not stuck with that crap anymore.

RMK 600 · 12-12-2006, 07:42 PM

That's how it was when I was a kid had to start it to ride it! I like your guy's atitude

badbrad · 12-12-2006, 07:45 PM

also why i love my new sled (has electric start and reverse)

RMK 600 · 12-12-2006, 08:29 PM

nice options to have but as you might have noticed I try to keep the wheight off that's why the electronic reverse is great on the new sleds. I hear you though I don't think I would ever buy another sled without reverse, the electric start well maybe when i'm older

My kids were lifting weights tonight in anticipation of snow. I think they have the itch to ride. Don't we all.

December 13: 50 degrees, sunny and nothing but green outside. The trails officially open a week from today in WNY so lets whip up some lake effect and send it our way Michigan boys.

Have you been doing the "Snow Dance"?

I can't make it snow without help here.

A little help would be appreciated.
