I would strongly recommend NOT to disable SIP.

csrutil status
If it shows that it is disabled then what you can do is download a tool called EFI Mounter.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/efi-mounter-v3.280/
Once you mount the drive then
- From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
- Click the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences, or choose View > Startup Disk.
- Select your startup disk from the list of available volumes.
You should then be able to select the recovery drive.
Please note that you should also follow up on the risks of disabling SIP.
If you disable SIP you'll get the same level of protection as you had with OS X versions before El Capitan. Whether this is enough for your needs it something only you can decide.
OTOH it's not that much trouble to disable SIP briefly to chance a protected part of the system. If you want to be on the safe side, disconnect from any networks while you do this.

The EFI mounter download is not available.
