grizztracks had a step by step up on hereon how to replace it on a vector/venture/rage. I followed this set of instructions and took my time, all went well. I bet your magnets in the starter came loose. Did you try and start it in severe cold? That's what happened to me, first -27 C start...

Well, ODO flashed where a code would normally be written,,,

Update: replaced the plastic. new plugs runs perfect, no codes!!!

Update: Speedo side bearing is ok. I pulled the plugs and the middle one was wet and fouled. I also banged into the speedo cluster lightly by mistake, and it fell off the dash!! The 3 plastic posts were all broken up, looks to me like someone overtightened the 3 screws!! Luckily Yamaha does...

I was prepping for the fist ride of the season, pulled the carbs for cleaning, all was well (non-ethanol premium, sea foam) and once the carbs were primed, it fired right up and sounded perfect. I went easy at first, all well, then gradually opened throttle a bit more for short bursts and still...

Hi, please open up your old starter and report back if the magnets came loose from the casing. As well, was the drive end good, no missing teeth? There has been a lot of bad starter motors that broke idler gear teeth, as me how I know,,,

Hey Jason R, I'm from Bancroft. We got some snow!! Use premium gas and seafoam. If yours was like mine, a 2009 last year for carbs, I would remove the float bowls and spray carb/injector cleaner (Yamaha one is the best!) up through the main jets and blow out with compressed air, just in case...

I pulled the engine and removed the sump to find the last gear tooth about an inch from the drain hole, in 3 pieces. Ready to put back together and get into the 4 plus feet of snow here! Thanks to forum members again!

ok, got the magnet as per the picture, but can't seem to get down in the sump from the bottom drain. can I remove the lower chain cover and poke down from there? Before I get pulling more stuff off, is it worthwhile flushing the sump with ATF? Thanks.

I am using the Rick's Enterprise one made in the US, supposed to be the good one, not the chinese one. I will not buy another Yamaha one and risk gear damage again. Thanks.

check this thread http://ty4stroke.com/threads/starter-gears-and-one-way-clutch.150516/ my 2009 Vector just did this, thought it was the battery, wasn't and I took out the starter to find all 4 magnets loose and 2 teeth broken on the idler gear. I found 1 broken tooth so far, will be using a...

So glad that forum members like Grizz take the time to lend a hand, offer advise. Because of these guys I was able to finally get the stator cover off and found 2 teeth missing on the idler gear. Off to the Crappo Tire ( Canadian Tire Store!) to get a third metric bolt for my puller and inspect...

Thanks again Grizz!

Hey Grizz, is it worthwhile replacing gears with the updated idler gear 8ES-15512-01-00 and the one way clutch with part 8GL-15590-00? if the clutch chattered the hub, is the crank pooched? Do I also need to replace the flywheel gear so they are all new? Thanks.

Thanks Grizz!

Hi guys, I have a 2009 Vector with the bad starter. The drive gear on the old starter has a tiny bit of burr feeling on the teeth, so I decided to check the gears. I can't get the stator cover off! I have followed the instructions in the pinned thread, but a question, the stator cover has 10...
