hi,

since my upgrade to Yuminashi 164cc kit, where cam has no decompression feature, the starter of my grom mostly had a hard time and sometimes needed a second click on the starter button.
thats gone now, i have installed a wemoto high performace starter and my MSX starts at the first press of the button now, without any hesitations.
have it from ebay - Honda MSX 125 Grom 2013-2014 Starter Motor High Performance | eBay
but wemoto also has a webshop - The UK?s biggest choice of motorcycle parts for Japanese and European machines.

hmmm. thats cool, i wonder if this will help with the load on the battery?! to bad its NOT us ebay. How was the install?

 

[badassxr50r]

Hum good thing to keep in mind if my starter goes again. Did you upgrade the battery as that will turn the motor over easier?

 

[hobbycaptain]

no batterie upgrade and install went well. you have to remove side fairing to access starter, remove + cable and the 2 mountingscrews of the starter, where on the back one also groundcable is attached.
then, from the left side of the bike with a rubber mallet with light targeted hits on the starter, to push it out.
grease the axle of the new one and hammer it with the mallet into its position. be carefull and look that toothwork fits.
done.

Can't you just take apart your stock starter and rewind it for better starting.

here is a good link on starter theory, from old motorcycles to now days
Dan's Motorcycle Electric Starters

 

[hobbycaptain]

yes, you can do this if you are knowledgeable, i prefer to buy

the starter is sealed and not easy to dismantle. i think its a disposable product and not really built to be repaired

Bump this up. I've been thinking about getting a upgraded starter as it seems like it doesn't crank fast enough. How's the starter working out?

i don't think any venders offer a starter yet though.

I'm working with TB parts on one. Will update as I get info.

Any update on this?

 

[hobbycaptain]

Any update on this?

my wemoto still works fine, always starts at the first buttonpress

 

[bleleux3]

TB has sent the dimensions off to his guys overseas. I have been in contact with him a couple times a week to get updated on everything. I'm not sure when this will be completed.

You must be on a compression stroke every time you try and start it. Ive gone through several BBK's and I notice when it doesn't want to turn over I just bump the starter button to move the crank and then go for it again and its fine. I think alot of people push the starter button down till it just cranks which inst that good for your wiring.

What big Chris said, also the stock battery is only 60 CCA, so you could upgrade the battery to a 120 CCA like this one. Battery Tender Li-Ion Batteries BTL09A120C

I don't have a problem. just give it a bump like chris said.

i do'nt think so, i think most people simply do not want and need to start twice every time

Mr HobbyCaptian - how is this holding up?

 

[The green]

No issues with my webike starter!

 

[hobbycaptain]

Mr HobbyCaptian - how is this holding up?

still working and since installation never needed a second try

 

[brightheatx]

I just asked question about the stronger starter motor on their eBay page, it's weird they replied me there's only regular stock starter motor they sell...

 

[teerex]

No more high performance starter on ebay at least.
