Hi Folks....
Needed a solenoid for my m900 recently and I read here that a certain Yamaha one fitted and did the job perfectly - better connectors too! Still, they were nearly as pricey as the originals (well, nearly!) so, being on a tight budget I went a-huntin.
Got this one on E-bay - all the way from Tiwan!

Exactly like the Yamaha original, works perfectly and LOOK AT THE PRICE!!!
(I have nuthin to do with these chaps folks - but I needed one and I needed one cheap!) ;D
Cheers.
Thanks for posting this -- so it worked out okay for you?
Luckily a starter relay like that is just about the same as any other. You can get away with a scooter relay too I'm sure, and they can also be had for cheap:
