A bit of a resource for anyone needing parts for a worn out starter motor: http://www.motorcityreman.com/streki.html
Just got pointed there for some bits to rebuild mine. Looks like they have kits listed for a lot of common bikes. US$30 for a full kit plus freight should see my starter fully rebuilt with new bearings, seal & brush plate for about the same as the local auto sparky charged to find & fit just the brushes last time, & a good bit less than the $550 replacement which is KTM's only option to fix a flaky starter.:motu:
The site's shipping calculator came up with some ridiculous figure via UPS so my bits are en route via Youshop.
Cheers
