Starter motor exchange 750/1000/1100 bit of a hurry.

[robinjo]

My girls starter motor is dead, I have checked and it is indeed the motor.
It was already dying a slow death but now it is at it's end.
Her bike is a Katana 1100, manufactured 8/81.

Kat 1100/1000 part number is 31100-49500-H17

GS750 part number is 31100-49050

GS1000 part number is 31100-49050

Now my buddy Marcovandervelde is using a 2-v 750 starter motor in his Katana 1100 engine and I know a guy who has a 1000 engine with a good motor in it that I could buy so it should interchange right? But maybe teeth on the cog or something else I overlookied couldn't fit? :?

I'm trying to get her back on the road as quick as possible, Kat is her only transport now, her 550L (Bob for intimi) is currently awaiting a new alternator.

Maybe it is something like you thought....the gear, etc.

Re: Starter motor exchange 750/1000/1100 bit of a hurry.

From bikes/engines I had on hand in my shop. I found the starter motors from a 79 750E, an 80 1100E and 81 750E, an 83 1100E and 85 1150E were all interchangable relative to fitting, gears lining up and turning the engine normally.

I have a starter from a 81 750E installed in my 83 1100/1197 E. No problems with it.

Robin, maybe this guys application page will help you.

Good Luck! I just repaired the starter on the 550L, one of the watch mainspring stye springs had popped out of its mounting.

Wear latex gloves, that old, dirty lithium soap grease used as lube takes forever to get out from under your fingernails!
