Yamaha 750s starter motor etc

[Cave Cleaner]

My son is looking for a starter motor for his 1978/79 Yamaha 750 triple. He thinks it is called a XS750. Came out after the 650 special, (so he tells me)
He lives in Avondale in Auckland, so if anyone can help or knows where he could look it would be much appreciated
Cheers

I have one myself,currently in bits awaiting time/money and more money..if he comes across a good source and theres more than he needs can you drop me a line?

Had one & the 850 also
The 750 1st came out in 77' and were about before the 650 special but were predated by the TXs, XS-1s, XS-1B, & XS-2 etc

78-79 will be a XS750F Maroon with gold pinstripe

Starter motors were shared across a few models

I'd be looking for ones off XS11s, early XJ650-750

what's wrong with the old one?

Not sure of details. He has no internet, and he text me with this request.
I think he bought it not going, so there may be a few bits he wll need to find
I will speak to him to get more information

Thanks for that info. I will pass that on..
Cheers

Cheers Bill ive a mate with an old XJ,if hes got a working starter motor i will snap it up and pass it on cave cleaner.....as far as i am aware the one on mine is ok.

It could just be worn brushes within the starter motor itself.

pretty sure they're Mitsuba starter motors and you can get replacement brush kits easily enough for about $30-40

Just had a quick look around for the manual I had for my old girls, couldn't find it but it could be a hitachi s/m even bearing that in mind there are brush kits available for them also.

CaveCleaner ya should just tell your boy to HTFU & just use the kickstart

Cheers for all those suggestions....., I will pass that info on to himself.
