    Replacement Starter?

    Does anyone know if a replacement is available for a GS1100L with a Mitsuba starter? I see one at Rick's Motorsports, but it's for a Nippon Denso. I was going to buy a rebuild kit, but it looks like the commutator is hosed. Thanks.

    I think either one will work, you just need to make sure you get the right rebuild kit, if you were going that route.

    On the outside, I believe they are the same.

      Thanks

      Thanks, Steve. I got an e-mail from Rick's saying that their model 61-304 would work if I modified the cover over it, or they would rebuild mine for $165. I found out that the brushes had split in half and pieces were laying inside. After replacing the brushes, the starter works, but now I only have about 7 volts going to the start button. More work to do!
