Starter solenoid?

[tigertim20]

starter solenoid, are these interchangable between bikes, provided they had an equal size fuse? (30a) or does it need to be bike, year and model specific?

ohh oww what happened?:eek5:

I'd have thought that as long as they have the same current rating and connections it should be all good. If it blows up then I guess I was wrong.

You are right mate.
The solenoid is just a relay, so as long as you have the right coil voltage, in this case 12 volts, and the current rating of the solenoids are the same, or the new one has a higher rating you are good to go......

pm me and ill tell ya hayden

I hate bloody bike solenoids. Far too small and mingy. Go to Supercheap and get a honking big truck unit (about $20). That'll NEVER die .

Yeah, they'r epretty interchageable. Only points to watch are (a) voltage - duh and (b) some earth through the body of the switch (for the coil) some have a separate earth connection., if your starter switch is "make to ground" as many are you need the separate connection one.

haha I can get it from ripco or supersheep? sweet! didnt think of that, cheers mate!!!
