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

Overview

When the starter system isn’t engaging the way it should, this gear assembly is often part of the problem. It works with the starter motor to transfer motion and get the engine turning over cleanly. If it’s worn or damaged, you’ll hear grinding or feel the engine struggle to crank. I’ve seen starting issues disappear right away after replacing a worn gear assembly like this.

Key Features

• Starter Drive Function – Transfers rotation from the starter motor to the engine.

• Smooth Engagement Design – Helps ensure clean and reliable startup operation.

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

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