Are the starter motors a common failure for the nc30's? Mine has really started to play up over the past month to the point I have a 50/50 chance of hearing the starter solenoid click and nothing happens. Only thing that sorts it is a knock to the motor n it cranks again but still...

I have ordered a replacement, does anyone know offhand what size the O-Ring is that needs to be replaced? Also if the starter motor has failed, should I be double checking any other electrics? The reg has been replaced recently and the battery is reading fine, alternator is charging properly aswell.

cheers

Hi, remember these bikes are over 20 years old so do tend to need a bit of tlc. I'd suggest rebuilding the motor and cleaning the brushes up and make sure they move freely, but if you've got a new one you should be fine. Are you deffo sure its not the solenoid not switching correctly?
Cant help with the o ring sorry, but it maybe in the service/parts manual in the document library at the top of the page.
Cheers
