Nippondenso starter

Post by Chuey »

I just tested the Nippondenso starter I got from Euro Motolektrik. It is a very nice part and surely an upgrade from any other kind of starter. They cost more than the others but it seems like the difference is justified.

It seems smoother and more peppy than the other starters. There is more room for hooking up the wires to the starter and it is lighter in weight, (as opposed to color).

Everyone that got them are Happy with them and when mine dies thats the one I'll replace it with

80 amps to work it over the 180 of the old one is sure a good way to make most of the systems involved last longer

I fitted the $90- Valeo knock of Caltric sells on Ebay to my G/S, and it is still working fine after 2 years/70.000km.

Euromotoelectrics sell them for slightly more but you get 12 months warranty with his, and he also has replacement Valeos with mechanically fixed magnets, etc, for a sensible price, and flings in a few goodies with them too.
