RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter model 61-221 is an aftermarket starter designed for Kawasaki Mule applications from 2001 through 2021, as identified by the manufacturer and vendor product information. The starter uses a double-sealed ball bearing at the output shaft to help protect the bearing from damaging moisture entry.
Many original-equipment starter motors use 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 bearing, potentially causing corrosion. This RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC design places the output shaft seal on the outside of the double-sealed ball bearing, providing added protection against water entry.
The sealed ball bearing is also replaceable, supporting serviceability compared with an unprotected bearing design. Manufacturer part number: 61-221. Vendor part number: 61-221. Fitment: Kawasaki Mule models from 2001 through 2021, according to the provided product information.
