Yamaha - Starting Motor Gear Assembly - Starting System Component - 6AW-81807-00-00

Overview

When the engine doesn’t crank the way it should, this gear assembly is often part of the issue. It connects the starter motor to the engine so everything turns over clean and strong. If it’s worn, you’ll hear slipping or grinding instead of a solid crank. I’ve seen starting problems clear up instantly after replacing a worn gear assembly like this.

Key Features

• Starter Engagement Function – Transfers motion from the starter motor to the engine.

• Smooth Cranking Operation – Helps ensure clean and reliable engine startup.

• OEM Fit Accuracy – Matches Yamaha factory specs for proper alignment and installation.

• High Strength Construction – Built to handle repeated start cycles and engine load.
