Yamaha XV 750

[Pat]

Starter motor , this bike imported some 20 years ago and given good service with the exception of the starter motor which has been reconditioned a couple of times but still proves to be unreliable , if the bike doesnt start after a couple of shots on the starter the likely hood of it starting by the starter motor thereafter is remote.Electrics have been checked and all ok.Give it a push and away it goes .I have heard from others that the problem is common.Is there a remedy, I heard from someone that the starter can be modified using a honda integra motor but just a rumour.Anyone who can help please

So what exactly happens ??
Is the starter motor spinning?
Is the relay clicking
Or just silence ??

.I have heard from others that the problem is common.

correct the starter motor was a design flaw

can you fit the starter out of an 1100?

gidday Pat welcome to the site, enjoy!

Ha starter motors on XV750s lols its a small vice they were renowned for just like the original 920 & 1000 were for splitting sleeves.
its a design fault, that proved to be a common event, a later model XV750 virago starter could be a remedy
