did i get ripped off

[Jr_454]

I just bought a starter recoil complete for 70 dollars shipped is that to much

[bigredhead]

A pull start or an electric motor ? for wich model and how new ?

[Jr_454]

for an 82 yt125j tri moto recoil start, its all there all i have to do is bolt it on.

[YTM200BOY]

sounds like you could have gotten the "pull starter" ALOT cheaper if thats what you mean???? sorry explain we dont understand you!!

[Jr_454]

ya sorry the complete pull starter with the sheave and the recoil spring i needed the whole thing when i got the trike it was all messed up

[YTM200BOY]

you paid 70 bucks for that!!! Holy *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* lol sorry to break it to you man but i guarenteed if *Edited* looked around or asked on a post here that you needed a pull start assembly you could have gotten 1 alot cheaper........... Well you got one lol thats the bright side lol have fun!

[Jr_454]

i figured i did but i got the trike for free, and the wife said that if it wasnt running by next week it had to go

[bigredhead]

To prove the wife wrong.. it's worth anything... ride-on !

[Howdy]

I sold 3 of them this year. They all worked GREAT and fetched $25-$45 dollars each.
Howdy

[Jr_454]

sure now someone tells me they have one. well i am getting it and the wife can yell all she wants when the motors roaring then i cant hear her. Like you all said got ripped but i am gonna be riding soon

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

I dont think you got ripped of, sounds reasonabla to me. Rare parts dont come cheap.

[traxxasx]

I told you 3 times to post an ad in the classifieds section, i was pretty sure howdy had one. Well i wouldent say you got ripped off, but you coulda saved some money.

[the great gazoo]

Yeah, 70 might have been a little high, but sometimes you put out more cause you don't want to wait for that one part that's going to get you out there riding, right? If you'd waited, you would have gotten a better deal, but sometimes I just can't wait, I want to ride NOW, & I'm willing to put out a little more green. Nice scoot, by the way.TGG..........

[dreadhed]

Why would you do a deal and then say "I got ripped off". No one made you do it. Just on the fact that you agreed to buy it me tells me you did not get ripped off. You just have buyers remorse(sp?).

[YTM200BOY]

lol i totally agree dreadhed :lol: good luck with the bike though man!

[Yamahauler]

you could have push started it and told the wife it works perfect. Oh well, too late now, but on the bright side you only have $70 total into the bike

[Jr_454]

no remorse just didnt know what they went for. and i do want to get riding all i need to do now is adjust the carb and awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we go besides like i said the trike was free the guy who gave it to me said it was shot hell all he needed to do was clean the carb the floats were stuck ha ha on him hey i have spent way more money on worse things besides the looks i get on this are priceless people think its crazy that we ride these things.

[YTM200BOY]

Yes you will man when that bike fires up you will be so happy. I know i was "my ytm200 didnt have a plug in it!!"

[Rex Karz]

$70 bucks shipped for any starter is fine, jeez, guys!

Actually isn't it $70 for a WHOLE TRIKE?

Good luck with our trike! Don't EVER PUT YOUR FEET DOWN and You will have lots of fun! Riding a trike is one of the greatest feelings a Man can experience. Ever wonder why some people do the 3-point thing when they pray? Trikes, that's why.
