starter motor required

[DaveR]

After a string of problems with starting; normally at 6 in the morning in full bike gear, with a tight deadline; I have identified the problem as a short within the starter moter.
Does anyone have a new/reconditioned/ one that works, that I could buy, for a '94 900ss. Are they all the same or do the newer bikes have a different, higher rated one?

Thanks

Dave

I had mine rebuilt years ago as it was only the brushes that had worn.

Someone is actually selling a rebuild kit (and other things) on Ebay:

I found running heavier rated cable to the starter helped alot too.

Good luck - Frank
