Hello Kiwi Biker community
I would appreciate your expert advice? I own a 2002 GasGas 400FSE (fuel injected headache) These bikes have a reputation of being hard to start from cold (mine included) So I have replaced the battery, checked earth wiring, solenoid and the starter button before I found the culprit, the previous owner had given the starter motor hell, by excessive cranking (a problem for some younger male riders) the brushes where shot and about to start arcing, but the armature bush and needle bearing are showing excessive wear, allowing it to pole and loose power. I have tried my usual bearing supplier but found it to be a special size like 19 OD x 13.5 ID x 12 W?
Can anyone recommend a NZ source of parts for this two brush left hand rotation Mitsuba 12v starter motor (Model sm-14202 or 14203?)
Many thanks
