Description
OEM starter motors fail prematurely due to moisture intrusion that corrodes unprotected output bearings—a design flaw that Rick’s Motorsport Electric has engineered out of this proven Polaris unit. By implementing a sealed double-ball bearing with an exterior output shaft seal, this starter delivers extended service life and a replaceable bearing cartridge that keeps you racing instead of troubleshooting. If you’re running a Polaris in wet conditions or simply want a starter that won’t quit mid-season, this is the upgrade that pays for itself through reliability.
