RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter motor, model 61-501, is designed as an aftermarket replacement for the Polaris application identified by the manufacturer. It addresses a common vulnerability found in many OEM starter motors, where an unprotected output needle bearing is located 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 RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC unit 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: 61-501. Vendor part number: 61-501. Fitment: Polaris application as identified by the manufacturer. Verify application details before purchase.
