9-Tooth Starter Motor for Honda CB500 CB500S 1994 1996–2002 31200-MY5-013

Product Overview

Replace a worn, weak, noisy, or failed starter motor with this 9-tooth electric starter motor, designed for select Honda CB500 and CB500S motorcycle applications using OEM reference number 31200-MY5-013.

The starter motor helps crank the engine when the electric start button is pressed. A failing starter motor may cause slow cranking, clicking, no-crank problems, intermittent starting, grinding noise, or failure to start even when the battery is fully charged.

This replacement starter motor features a 9-tooth gear and CCW rotation based on supplied product data. Please compare your original starter motor’s OEM number, tooth count, rotation direction, mounting points, electrical terminal, body shape, gear position, and overall design before ordering.
