My neighbor has a new 99 ZL 600EFI w/ reverse-smart ride......His starter is not engaging all the way.It seems there is a problem with a batch of sleds from production.Apparantly the splines on the starter assy. are made wrong...causing the starter to not engage fully.Has anybody heard of this problem...or is it just typical dealer BS .....

from what i been hearing even in one of the snowmobile mags this is common with the flex drive after a few hundred miles it seems to me that this is a rinkydink system compared to other oem,s but it is the only way to do it says arcticat but waranty should take care of it

I just returned my 03 ZL 600 SS for the bendix not engageing and found the battery was the culprit. Maybe a bad batch of them?
