I was thinking avbout buying a new 750 brute force and noticed that it doesnt come with a recoil backup nor do any of the big bore atvs. Question is if my battery goes dead how do you get it started? I guess you cant roll start can you? Or if the battery is good but the starter goes out then what? Ive been around atvs a while now and my last new purchase was in 2003. I know they made recoil backups that came standard back then. So whats the deal?

A lot of companies are getting away from recoil back-ups. Why? I dont know, but they are falling back on the whole electronic phase thats swept the nation.

A battery tender is the first thing i'd put on it. That way, you never have to worry about your battery being dead.

As far as the Starter goes, Never had one go bad on me, yet.

some recoils are just to hard for most people to pull, thats why they are not useing them much any more, and some people can't kick start ether. Some quads if you pull are push them fast in 3rd gear they will start.


Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and
permanently set.

I'm 6'3" and 250lbs and I have a hard time pulling my grizzly's pull starter. Like CChargos said, it's probably because trying to turn over one big piston instead of two smaller ones.
