Gen4 starter relay switch fried

Looks like I have a fried starter relay. correction: magnetic starter switch
But the connector is also bad.

Where is the best place to buy a new starter relay?
is "wire my bike" the only place to get a kit to fix the connector?
What gauge wire is that for the connector?

Thanks!

 

Well I can't say where the "best" place is to buy a new starter Franko,but I can tell you that Rick's Motorsport Electrics offers a rebuilt starter (part number 60-144) for your 4th gen.
Unfortunately they don't offer new starters for the 4th gen. bikes.
The price for the Rick's rebuilt starter is $205.00,and that price includes a refundable core charge for your old starter. Dunno how much that refund is because it isn't listed on the website page. Prolly have to contact them to find out.
$205.00 for the rebuilt starter seems like a steal when you consider that it'll cost you $513.00 for a brand new one (part number 31200-MZ5-003) from your local Honda dealer.
Rick's also offers a regulator/rectifier and a new stator assembly for your bike too. They don't offer starter relays though.
Can't help you with the wire guage or connector Franko,no clue.

I just picked up a brand new Rick's starter for my Ducati 900ss last Monday,here's a pic.
I paid $237.00 for it.
I don't even wanna know what they're charging for a new one at the Ducati dealer. :faint:

 

Thanks stoshmonster
I corrected my post to indicate I only need the starter relay. not a starter. But good information you provided.
I'll keep it in case I need that later.

So, I'll be shopping for the starter relay.
I see I need to rebuild the connector. There is a kit for that.

 

Okay,no probs Franko.

Just for reference the stock 4th gen. starter relay part number is 38501-GN2-014 and it costs about $39.00 at the Honda dealer.

 

Thank you again. Ordering on Monday.

 

Thank a lot. ordering was easier knowing the part #.
It was $43 at my local Honda dealer.
Plus got a chance to get a close look at the new VFR.
I still don't know if I like it.

 

Actually, the part number I needed was:

SW, STARTER MAGNETIC

Mfg. Part Number: 35850-MT4-000

It was about $90.00

 

OOPS! ^^^^^
Looks like we kinda got the nomenclature a little mixed-up Franko. You were asking about the starter relay,part number 24 in this pic. That was the part number I listed in my post.



And what you really needed was the magnetic starter switch,part number 8 in this pic.
Sorry,my bad. :redface:
I shoulda caught that,it's the part you showed in your pic. :doh:

If you do get that wire connector repair kit Franko could you maybe post up a pic and a part number.
My 6th gen. uses that exact same 35850-MT4-000 starter switch and it would be some good info to have handy if I ever run into that same electrical problem.

 

Nah. not your fault.
I started with the incorrect name.
Anyway, this sets me back a week from riding.
But it's ok.

I will post pics of all the items.

Thanks
