RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC starter motor, model 61-516, is a high-quality alternative to OEM starter motors for KTM and Polaris applications. The manufacturer part number is 61-516, and the vendor part number is 61-516.
Many OEM starter motors use an unprotected output needle bearing outside the output shaft seal. Moisture can enter the output cap of the electric motor and travel along the armature shaft to the bearing, potentially causing corrosion. This RICK'S MOTORSPORT ELECTRIC aftermarket starter motor addresses that design concern with a double-sealed ball bearing and an output shaft seal positioned on the outside of the bearing.
The sealed bearing helps protect the outside bearing from damaging water entry and is replaceable. Fitment is identified in the product data for KTM and Polaris applications; verify vehicle-specific compatibility before purchase.
