Engine / Starter Rick's Motorsport Electric – Manufacturer Ref: 61-414
Replace your starter with an aftermarket unit designed to withstand off-road conditions. This Rick's Motorsport Electric starter is based on Yamaha units while enhancing bearing protection: where many original starters use an unprotected needle bearing, which can allow moisture to enter and corrode the mechanism, this version features a double-sealed ball bearing with the output seal placed outside the bearing. The result: better barrier against water and mud, and a replaceable sealed bearing for maintenance.
Designed for quad and side-by-side use, this starter is aimed at riders who want a reliable replacement part designed for wet and dusty environments. Unit mounting, compatible with several recent Yamaha 700 cc models.
Main compatibilities: YAMAHA YXM 700 VP 4X4 Viking EPS (2025), YAMAHA YFM 700 RSE Raptor Special Edition (2025), YAMAHA YFM 700 R Raptor (2025). For any rider looking for a robust and targeted replacement solution for repeated off-road starts.
