Starter for sale

[bramfrank]

The short of it:

Dealer was tasked with diagnosing a 'no starter when warm and sometimes after sitting for a while' condition on my '06 with 100000 km and came back with a diagnosis of 'you need a new starter' and a quote for $750, labour included.

Fast forward;

Found a starter from an '07 with 7000 miles on it on eBay for $130 + shipping. Bought it intending to install it myself.

But before installing, a car mechanic friend suggested a couple of tests and in the end that I purchase yet another new battery (I'd been through 3 up to then in the foolish hope that it was bad batteries - I'd bought Motobatt - went through 3).

I decided not to go for Motobatt yet again, even though I could probably have argued for a free replacement (the first was purchase just over 2 years ago), in spite of the great reviews - enough already, if indeed it was the battery. So I got a Yuasa private label a few weeks ago from Saskbattery for less than $90 shipped.

I installed a few weeks ago and if indeed it wasn;t the battery, by now I'd be seeing issues and I don't, so he was right - 3 bad batteries in a row from Motobatt and the smart battery chargers didn't detect the issues.

So I have the starter motor available for the same price as I paid: $130 plus shipping from 12919 OR H9G3B8).

PM me or post on the Facebook group if interested.

Is that the only dealer in your neck of the woods? I'd find someone else to look after my bike!

Notwithstanding, the starter is still available - shipping from H9G or 12919, as appropriate.

I may be in need of a starter for my Gen 1(2004). I'm still troubleshooting to see if it could be something else. And I need to research whether your starter will work in my Gen 1. But just in case, is your starter still available?

It is indeed . . . . however it is subject to prior sale should someone want it before you do . . . however if it is sold I will be posting the fact here.

You should hang on to that starter for a bit. Seriously...If your starter is taking a crap, a new battery will be able to power through until the starter finally dies. Just a thought though...Good luck if you still sell.

Understood. I may end up trying a new battery before a new starter. So it will likely be a while before I know whether the starter is even needed.

Suffice it to say that the problem with my ride was the battery (more properly THREE batteries) from Motobatt.
