Replacement parts

[Rippinlip]

I had a bad day wheeling the other day and my Bendix broke going down the trail and it spun into and breaking my pulsar outside the fly wheel also damaging my starter.....

So I need to get a Stator, Bendix and Starter.

I have been checking out prices and they are extreme between OEM and off brands.

My question is, have many of you used parts like Ricks or Moose instead of original replacement parts?

What is your opinions and success?

Know where else to get parts?

Thanks

I've never heard anything bad about Ricks? No experience with Moose parts, they probably are sourced from the same supplier anyways since Moose makes nothing.

I just went thru the same thing. I paid around $250.00 for starter, starter drive and stator for my wifes 05 sportsman 400. [NOTE FROM ADMIN: Your post has been edited. Please read forum policy before posting again. Thank You] Easy change out. Good luck

Thanks,

I did some research and talked to a few others and general conscensus was the non-OEM parts will have to be replaced sooner than later.

SO I tok some of my own advice from a post in another subject matter and bought OEM replacement parts from a trusted source and its all good to go now.
