Elektrik is always working to raise the bar and make old Boxers
better. This is the perfect replacement for the failure-prone
starters fitted to the 1988 through 95 two-valve Boxers, and will
also fit all 77-87 twins that came with Bosch starters.
The starters are also available for all 1970 thru 76 Slash 5, Slash 6, and R90S models that have an 8 tooth drive gear!
This starter is very well suited for use on high-compression or performance-modified engines.
Our starter motors are made by Nippondenso, originally for use in Toyota trucks and mated to a new casting and drive gear to fit the BMW engine. The high torque planetary gear design DOES NOT use glued-in magnets for the motor fields. Robust construction and wire-coil fields insure long service and can be rebuilt. At 6 lbs., it's approximately half of a Bosch's weight, and draws 80 amps of battery current, compared to the 120 amp draw common to Bosch.
Drop-in replacement requires no modifications or rewiring. The starter ships with new mounting bolts and nuts. One year warranty.
