This was performed on my 1998 Honda Foreman 450S, The steps should hold true for most hondas.
Here are the few simple steps to sealing off the Recoil pull starter.
This way you can seal it off from dirt and water minimizing their chances of causing damage. Plus you will still reatain the use of the pull stater if it is ever needed.
Pull starter's location on the bike. Rear of motor, in front of the swingarm. Remove the bolt's that hold's it on and remove from the bike. apply RTV on the back of the recoil sealing area. Including where the pull cord handle fits into the case and where the rope goes into the handle also. There also may be a weephole in the bottom of the casing. If your has one seal that up as well.
