Description
Features:
Rick's Motorsport Electrics has been providing starters for over 30 years. Rick's manufacturers new and rebuilds custom starters for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, off road, street bikes, & snowmobiles.
All rebuilt starters require a core exchange and come with a one year replacement warranty. Most new and rebuilt starters are built to stock specification, but we do offer some high output stator versions as part of the Hot Shot Series so you can get even more electrical power from your machine
- Affordable starters are constructed with longer-life bearings than OEM many OEM starter motors have an unprotected output needle bearing on the outside of the output shafts seal; moisture can and does enter the output cap of the electric motor and follows the armature shaft to the unprotected needle bearing, which corrodes the bearing
- Ricks takes the extra step of installing a double-sealed ball bearing, whith the output shaft seal on the outside of the bearing in their new aftermarket unit
- This simple application of common-sense engineering does tow things: first, the outside bearing is now protected from damging water entry, and second, the sealed ball bearing is replaceable

Great Starter
Bought this for my 01 Suzuki Bandit 600, works like a charm! Cranks hard everytime. It's about as easy to install as any other one would have been.

Great Starter
Third starter in machine has never started this strong! Don’t hesitate to buy this over OEM or any well known over priced starters!

Identical to OEM
Works as it should, fits perfectly and is just about identical to the original starter.

J'aurais dû l'acheter bien avant !
Je vais écrire mon commentaire en français pour faciliter la lecture aux francophones comme moi.
J'ai tenté de rebâtir mon vieux démarreur pour mon GL1100 1983 mais c'était toujours difficile de faire virer le moteur assez vite (et de manière constante) à chaque tentative de démarrage.
J'ai hésité avant d'acheter le démarreur de Ricks Motorsport dû à son prix élevé (versus rebâtir un démarreur usagé).
Je me suis tanné d'avoir des démarrage difficile et j'ai acheté le démarreur de Ricks Motorsport.
Énorme différence sur le démarrage de la moto.
Ce démarreur fait tourner le moteur vraiment vite.
Il mérite chaque dollars car maintenant, démarrer ma moto de 42 ans (au moment d'écrire mon commentaire) est sans faille à chaque fois.
J'aurais dû l'acheter bien avant !
Assez facile d'installation une fois le levier de vitesse enlevé.
Il faut absolument utiliser l'engrenage fourni avec le nouveau démarreur car celui d'origine ne rentre pas sur le nouveau démarreur.

Back country confidence.
I rely on my bike to get me out of remote places. This starter so s faster and feels better engineered than OEM.

Questions
Is this a complete electric starter kit or simply a replacement starting motor?
Just the starter motor only. It has been working for 3 years since I installed.
I had other issues related to starting. Battery was not charging. I replaced the Rectifier/Regulator (it was easiest to replace). Turned out to be the stator. I had that, as well as the starter clutch gear, replaced in the shop (due to complexity) last year. It starts like new now.
