RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter motor, model 61-505, is designed as an aftermarket replacement for the Polaris application identified by the manufacturer. The unit incorporates a double-sealed ball bearing at the output shaft, with the output shaft seal positioned outside the bearing to help protect it from moisture entry.
Many OEM starter motors use an unprotected output needle bearing outside the output shaft seal. Moisture can enter the motor's output cap and travel along the armature shaft, potentially causing corrosion at the bearing. This RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC design places a sealed ball bearing in the output assembly to provide added protection against water exposure.
The sealed ball bearing is also replaceable, offering a serviceable alternative to an unprotected bearing design. Manufacturer part number: 61-505. Vendor part number: 61-505. Fitment: Polaris application as identified by the manufacturer.
