Good afternoon all, I recently joined this group in search of technical help regarding a starter problem, but to no avail. As much as I love Brittany Spears...
Hi Tim, Thanks. My question was..being that first generation Hinckleys were very Kawasaki influenced, would a starter motor from a certain model kawasaki fit...
I couldn't tell you of a specific jap model that uses the same starter and am not familiar with the older hinckleys, but it has been my experience on the RS I...
This is a very car-influenced answer but I suspect it holds. Start motors have the motor that spins (sounds like yours is ok) and a solenoid that kicks out the...

Ahh, oops - sorry. Told you I was simple... Anyway, I'm sure you can still just hit it with the shifter. ... From: triumphmotorcycleclub2@yahoogroups.com ...

Paul, The starter on my 2000 Legend went out a few months back (17000 miles ballpark). My mechanic at the Triumph shop mentioned that these bikes tend to need...
Dear Paul Nielsen, Sounds to me like you have a rebuildable starter, so you would be better off rebuilding the original starter than to put a mismatched...
