RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter motor, model 81-112, is designed as an aftermarket replacement for applications using a Kawasaki starter motor. The unit addresses a common vulnerability found in many OEM starter motors: an unprotected output needle bearing positioned outside the output shaft seal.
Moisture can enter the motor's output cap and travel along the armature shaft to the exposed bearing, potentially causing corrosion. This starter motor uses a double-sealed ball bearing with the output shaft seal positioned outside the bearing. This design helps protect the bearing from water entry while also allowing the sealed ball bearing to be replaced.
Manufacturer part number: 81-112. Vendor part number: 81-112. Fitment: Kawasaki applications; verify compatibility with the specific vehicle before purchase.
