Hi yes i fitted it, not bad to do just removed the panels just a bit fiddly. Wife didn't want to be without it for a few days which was what Yamaha said it would take to check as it still started after about 10 seconds holding the starter If me i would of let Yamaha do it but got a Lazada Special 500 baht which they say is 100% Genuine (i say 100% BS) Yamaha starters are 1100 baht See how long this lasts but after having lots of honda's i would get another Honda next just my wife fancied a change but done 70k+ so not been bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you should tell the Mrs to not engage idle stop (if it has it), let the bike idle at traffic lights etc, this will give your starter motor a longer life.

gomangosteen Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'm back! Refer earlier post re the Fino cutting out. Been to three shops (and one twice) for spark plug, battery, fuel pump and was fine for a while Then an unexpected stop two weekends ago opposite a shop set up by a mechanic ex-Yamaha, he couldn't find the fault as it started ok when he got to look at it, 100 baht thanks. Again this morning - I have isolated 'when' it happens, always when backing off the throttle eg today stopping for traffic lights. I was near my destination, Thai Watsadu so left the bike roadside, returned 40 min later and it started. The previous two stops were also slowing/off throttle at lights/intersections. 30 minutes is average for it to start again as if nothing was wrong. Is there a clue somewhere in this? Intention is for daughter to use for university but not with this current ailment. Thanks The accused (or is it 'alleged offender?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
