I need to replace the starter in my TRX200SX, and the service manual states that I need to remove the fuel tank, air box, left side engine case cover, starter reduction cear cover…etc…

From the looks of it, i can remove both mounting bolts to the starter, as well as the wires from the starter without removing the fuel tank or air box.

Do I NEED to remove any of the stuff on the left engine cover and reduction gear cover to replace the starter?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance on the subject, this is my first quad, and I’m really excited to the the electric starter working.

Thanks!

Joe
