Starter Motor

[Travis]

Hello,

I trust everyone is well.

Is the RVF 400 NC35 starter motor, the same as the VFR NC30's?

The starter motor on my NC35 has stopped working, and before I source one I need to try confirm if a VFR one will fit?

Thanks!

NC30 and NC35 are effectively the same part number.

thank you, i think i will much easier find a vfr starter second hand, than one for a rvf which is alot more rare here. thanks again.

Maybe the starter solenoid has failed. If it is the motor, it may only need brushes.

i see that Wemoto sells rebuild kits for the starter, Im tempted, but the cost is high to import, its alot more affordable to get a second hand starter. but then I may wel just have that one fail, so im torn at the moment on how to proceed.

Is this starter solenoid functioning correctly.

Is this starter solenoid functioning correctly.

yes, its brand new. i put power direct to starter motor, nothing. solenoid clicks, I can hear it working.

Have you removed and disassembled the motor, cannot offer any repair advice without inspection.
