What a bad day! Overheating, lost battery and solenoid ripped off, and recoil stuck.
Ill try to not make a novel of this, i have a few issues i need to resolve.
Went about 20 miles and saw the overflow spurting out coolant.
Told my GF to STOP!!!!!!
1. Handlebar Switch (New one on order) is a little screwy, have to jiggle to keep the odometer running, headlights, and AWD on.
*My GF might have not left it on, and ran it, could this cause to overheat because the FAN WILL NOT turn on without the jiggle.
2. Battery, Solenoid, battery cables, AND TIE DOWN on order. (Lesson Learned!)
3. I just replaced the recoil because the plastic parts broke, and pulled it once and started. Over heated again so i turned it off.
Now its stuck with the rope not going back in. Ideas??
Finally home after 20 miles of pushing her quad up and down the hills with my 600.....

I've seen my share of batteries ripping terminals off along with solenoids when they lost a strap or didn't have one to begin with. Pull the recoil housing and loosen the 10 mm bolt and see if the rope will retract back in. If it does remove the friction plate and grease the back side of the plate thoroughly with any good grease. Use a little loctite on the bolt and replace the plate and test the recoil.I think you need to give it a rest until the switch comes in. Plus when you get it all back together and the fan is working properly, leave the radiator cap off until the fan cycles on and off a couple times to remove any trapped air then top off the radiator and over flow bottle.
