VF750 starter motor?

[unstuck]

Anybody know what other starter motors will fit a VF750? I know the Magna ones are the same, but any others? The one I have is a MB2 SM8216 RIGHT.
Also, why are some left and some right? Left hand drive for the yanks? :whistle: Cheers.:2thumbsup

So I guess no-one knows then.:wait:

Don't know if anything else fits, but if you're after one there's plenty of new ones at quite reasonable prices on EBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40&_nkw=HONDA+VF750F+VF+750+F+STARTER+MB2+RIGHT+SM+82 16&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_udlo=&_udhi=&LH_BIN=1&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_fsradio2=%26LH_PrefLoc%3D1&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&_salic=3&_sanli=3&_sop=15&_dmd=1&_ipg=200

Yeah, seen a few when trawling around yesterday that seemed quite reasonably priced. But what is the difference between the left and right?:2thumbsup

At a guess I'd say direction of rotation, maybe for different engines/models or which side of the engine it mounts to.

interesting I didn't realise their were different rotations in starter motors I have gen 1,2,3 and vfr manuals on pc , what year and model is your bike . how badly worn is your starter motor ?
cheers
just went thru gen 3 manual and they do rotate opposite direction to gen 1 and 2 hmmm driveshafts maybe the difference lol

my edumicated guess is the left and right start direction are because the shaft drive engines revolve in the opposite direction well the Honda twins do when shaft vs chain

It is a 1983 VF 750F, I have a workshop manual for it, but it does not explain why some are left and some are right. I think Husa could be onto something with the shaft drive idea though. The starter motor I have is pretty badly munted due to 2 of the brushes coming adrift and making a nice little mess of things. :niceone:

have you tried Good Parts Motorcycle dismantlers he deals in VF750F parts . I remember seeing a starter motor for your bike for $10 on trade me but be long gone now dammit.
ps the VF700F starter will fit too. Honda part number is 31200-MB2-008 oh econohonda have 1 hmmmm arm and the leg lol

Agreed, Always looking to turn things on with a dirty probing finger.

Been told the ZZR1100 has the same starter, just needs the rear housing changed so the mounting bolts line up?????

I like to do my probing with something else ducfag, but you keep turning me down.:baby:

Hows the kickstarter on your FJ? :devil2:

Aside from the fact that ... Real men push start if the electric leg fails. Yamaha reliability prevents that necessity ... :innocent:
