    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.

hi everyone, this is my first post on this site so here goes. im busy restoring a gsx1100et and the brushes are worn out on the starter motor, this was easy for me to work out cos im an electrician, what i would like to know is, do you have to buy the whole plate assy including the springs etc, or can you just buy the brushes, the brush pig tails are spot welded to the plate assy which isnt a problem, on my parts cd it only lists the brushes, can any one help and also, where can i get them....cheers very lots

how's life in N. Yorks? Spent a lot of time in Whitby thru my work, actually my wife is from Scarborough and a good friend by the name of Catchpole lives up in Redcar someplace....

Anyway, from my local Suzi dealer I can buy any of the combos you mentioned from just the brushes to the complete assembly. I don't recall the price off the top of my head. (Note I was asking him about parts for my 82 650 but presumably they have parts for others).

Others on the site have cleaned and/or replaced their brushes so they may know of other sources besides the dealer.

They may or may not list the brushes on the site, but if you call or email they can almost certainly hook you up. Great people!
 
All I ever do when I need brushes, is get hold of a set that are slightly bigger than what I need at an auto parts place.

Then I file them down to size (nice soft graphite), and solder the copper 'pig tails' in. A drop of oil a short distance up the pig tail will make sure that solder doesn't run up the copper, so everything stays nice and flexible for the brushes to move inwards as they wear.
 
bikebandit too..

something like 9 bucks for the positive with the bolt on already.

I have had good experience with them. I bought the plate, with brushes attached and ready for installation. Good prices and excellent service.
