Description
OEM starter motors fail prematurely due to moisture intrusion—a design flaw that costs you money and downtime. Rick’s Motorsport Electric addresses this weakness head-on with sealed bearing construction that extends bearing life and protects against corrosion from water damage. The result is a more reliable starter that handles real-world riding conditions without the typical OEM failure points.
What sets this unit apart is Rick’s double-sealed ball bearing design. While OEM starters expose the output needle bearing to moisture that migrates along the armature shaft, Rick’s positions an external seal ahead of the bearing itself. This simple but critical engineering step prevents water entry entirely and makes the bearing serviceable when needed—eliminating the need for a complete motor replacement.
