    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I may need to replace mine on my 850 and thought about looking the ebay route but was wondering if all these bikes use the same Starter or are they different?

If not Stockers.com looks to be a good one for a rebuilt unit.
 
Nope...not all GS are the same...if you look at Stockers.com the part
numbers are different for some and same for others.

Yours can be found on these bikes:

1980-82 GS-650E 4 BRUSH
1981-82 GS 650E 4 BRUSH
1980-83 GS 750E 4 BRUSH
1980-83 GS 850G 4 BRUSH
1980-82 GS 1000 4 BRUSH
1980-84 GS 1100 4 BRUSH
 
You may want to check with some local starter/ alternator shops. Around here, some won't even talk about motorcycle starters, others will fix you right up.
