Electric starting
Starter motor
Power:
700 W with 12V power supply
Direction of rotation:
counterclockwise viewed from power take-off side.
As the starter motor is reliable and compact, it usually does not fail. In case of troubles, ensure that
the starter motor cable terminal is properly tightened under the nut and shows no oxidation. If the
terminal is properly tightened and free from oxidation, remove the starter motor and test it under
loadless conditions (no load applied to the shaft). Secure the starter motor to a test bench. Ensure not
to damage motor case. Use a 12V fully-charged battery. Take battery-motor connection cables not
longer than 70 cm and having the same cross-section as the motorcycle connection cable. Connect the
negative terminal of the battery with an unpainted area of the motor case and the positive terminal to
its electric terminal. The motor shaft should rotate quickly and freely. Proceed with utmost care so not
to short-circuit cables which are connected to the battery.
