1983 GS1100L Starter Motor removal tip needed

[Dchun88]

I have a '83 GS1100L with a bad starter motor. The cover has been removed. I need advice on how to get the starter out. Are there bolts that I don't see that need to come out before I can get the starter out? Thx.IMG_1486.jpg

There should be two screws in the rear feet of the starter motor remove those and pull the motor back to release it from the front housing you might want to renew the oring to stop any oil leaks in the future.

Yep, pretty easy. Once you put it back in, you can use a drift pin through the hole in the starter down into the threaded holes to help ease it in and line up the holes for the bolts.
