Starter relay

[michipons]

Hi all,
any recommendation of a modern starter relay to buy? last time I bought one was always getting stucked in the "run" postition, so I don't know if I had a problem with just this one or if they need any special specifications...

Best regards,
Miguel

Others will chime in - Clem loves his chunky Land Rover ones. I bought one from a large capacity Japanese V-twin frim a wrecker and on the 1hp ND SF starter it's behaved faultlessly.

Yes, get any second hand one for a large Japanese bike.

I bought a basic car one from my local auto-electrician.
So long as it’s a “solenoid” rather than the original “relay”.

The one on my SFC1000 failed with the starter not being able to be shut off. I had to run and get some wire cutters to cut the battery cable. The starter motor was very hot but still worked OK once cooled down.

I bought this one as according to Bosch, it is the replacement for what Laverda used and I found it on Amazon. So far it has worked OK for the past year.

Mine is ex Kawasaki 750 something or other, but a lot of Jap bikes used exactly the same thing. This type:


If you use one with the fused outlet, that can be useful for feeding circuits that you may have added to the bike.

A simple horseshoe plate bracket mounts it.

I did err towards a used 'proper' Japanese one, rather than a new reproduction. Has worked fine for over a decade now.

Aprilia Mille one off eBay - £8 odd now fitted to my Jota

+1 For the Aprilia RSV Mille one.
Fitted one on mine seven years ago and it has performed faultlessly since.
