Title: Bosch starter repair kit
Post by: montmil on March 14, 2012, 02:26:45 PM
Besides a pair of brushes, what else do you get for 52.00+ from the BMW dealer's part shelf? Other options for service parts? The price reminds me of the Bing OEM overhaul kit; handful of o-rings and a couple gaskets for way too many bucks...  For my 1981 and 83 R65s.

BMW part #12411352541

Nothing wrong right now, but may want to have something on the shelf if n' when needed.

From what I remember about the kit, four brushes, four springs for the brushes, two bearing/bushings for each end of the shaft .

At one time the kit also included one or two rubber parts that sealed the motor housing, but I don't think the rubber parts are available anymore .

I think it's probably the same as this kit from Euro Moto Electrics .

Thanks, Bob. I was on the euro motoelectrics site and flat missed this.

Maybe I'm living in the past, but $19 still seems a lot for four brushes, springs and a couple bushings. Definitely a more realistic price than the dealer!

Naw, it's just a trick of the imagination. You're every bit as fast, brainy and beautiful as ever!  :D

At least I know I am!
