Title: Starter solenoid alternatives
Post by: JoeP on May 29, 2012, 07:26:55 AM
Hi, there was an old thread that listed alternative replacements for the Ducati starter relay/solenoid, but I can't find it. I know about the CA cycleworks Yamaha alternative, but wasn't there a NAPA or other locally available (East coast) part? 2001 m600. Need it for the weekend! Thanks.

Nevermind. CA cycleworks can get me the part by Friday. Great shop.

If they can't, I find an 11mm open ended spanner is perfect for bridging the high current terminals.  I use 11mm specifically because these are included in sets purely for decoration - I've never met a nut or bolt with an 11mm head.

You need to work on some German stuff. ;)
