Any body try one of the starters from this place? They are significantly cheaper than OEM.

I've installed several from DB and as far as I know they're all still working. I also buy from Rick's Motorsport Electrics and have had good luck with their products. I wouldn't pay the price for an OEM starter with all the loose magnetic problems they tend to have.

Thanks! I’ve used the DB ones in my Polaris quads, and they actually have held up so far. They turn faster than stock. Haven’t had them only a year in the one quad, 2 months in the other. So far they seem much better than the OEM.
I just dropped my sled off to the dealer to see if they can figure out why my sled won’t start easily, like it’s supposed to. It has the symptoms of maybe needing valves adjusted. Maybe a weak battery, maybe a weak starter. Too many maybees! Hoping they get to the bottom of it. I’ll try this starter if it ends up needing one. They are 70 dollars shipped. Compared to over 200

If it's rolling over slow I'd think a weak battery or a very good possibility the magnets in the starter have slipped.

The verdict from the dealer....... weak battery. Valves are fine. Starter is fine. So the cold start, stalling, etc is all because I got a crappy battery back in March .

Magnets are loose in my starter.
I try Rick's 64-403 starter. Order from France on Ebay!
