9-Tooth Starter Motor for Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere 23P-81890-00

Product Overview

Replace a worn, weak, noisy, or failed starter motor with this 9-tooth electric starter motor, designed for select Yamaha XT1200Z and XT1200ZE Super Tenere motorcycle applications using OEM reference number 23P-81890-00.

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