This is a 2020, doo is telling me that this is a common problem as the 2020 recoils were over greased. And the it should happen again after the first heat cycle......

Felling very confident.

I heat taped my 19 recoil before i even rode it. Stripped all the foam off the panels. Left the stock can on, and it still did this exact same thing on the first couple of rides, been problem free ever since thou. This is the main reason i got the shot, tired of replacing doo recoils. With only pulling the recoil once a day it should last the life of the sled i would hope. I did have to replace a shot capacitor already thou

what did you use for heat tape on the recoil? I’m just starting to have issues with my 850 after the engine warms up.
