HELP....Removal of Starter Motor on GPX250

[Bren]

Hey guys, My starter motor is stuffed. My father in Law is an Auto Electrician so am trying to get the starter motor off the bike to send itup to him.

So Far I have removed the power lead to the starter, and the 2 10mm bolts on the right side of the starter motor. It is loosened but wont pop out of the ?gearbox crank cover?. Is there something I am missing? I thought it would be loosen bolts and pull out.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards,
Bren

okay...how do I get it past that then? Do I need to remove carbs to get more leverage in removing starter?

Dude--I dunno what bike ya have
With yee Ol xj's I'd get a lenth of 20x20 about 400mm long and tap the starter motor out -

Ya heard of the Midas Touch? well I had the Guano Touch....everything I touched turned to shit....

...So I prefer to find out from one who knows...

If it turned to shit when y' pulled it when y' were 15, I hope you consulted a good doctor. That's not normal even for a 15 year old.

Can ya indicate exactly what bike ya own--offering advice would be a shit load easier

Its in the thread title - GPX250 ( that's a Kawasaki isn't it? the parallel twin? ).

then Yup do as I suggested. Tap it out sideways with a block of wood.
You HAVE disconnected the wiring first though?
