Starter Relay

[vinny]

How often does the starter relay fail on a rxp is it a good idea to have one on hand?

[MSRXP]

Not too often. It's just one of those things. Some never experience it. It just depends on how often you are starting the ski. It's kinda like a light bulb. The more use, the more often it will fail. There however is no HOUR rating I don't believe. I had to replace mine after 165 hrs and 4+ years of use. Bought the ski new in 06. One day it just wouldn't start until I clicked it 6-8 times. It just happens. Not difficult to replace. The part number for it is 278-001-802 I believe. It is off the top of my head so double check it.

Mate, just had mine fail on a two week old rxtx, (it had previous corrosion on it) not hard to replace, guys I talked to said its not unusual for them to go. But it shouldn't happen very often.

Mine failed on an 06 RXT. Worked sometimes. Having an extra is a great idea, but if it goes bad, you can bypass it to start the ski by "bridging" the two posts.
