The Spyke 1.4kW High Torque Starter in chrome is a replacement starter motor for riders looking to get more cranking power than the original equipment unit. Its higher torque output is designed to turn the engine over with more authority, which is a practical advantage when conditions are tough on the battery or when the engine needs a stronger push to fire.

Spyke builds this starter with a lower amp draw than a standard OEM unit, which helps reduce strain on the battery. That makes it a sensible upgrade for riders who want reliable starting without having to step up to a high-amp battery. The gear ratio has also been improved for added dependability over the long haul.

The starter is finished in a brilliant chrome that stands out on the engine case, and it is made in the USA. Spyke's high torque starter offers a straightforward way to improve the starting performance of your bike.

Great part

I've been dealing with a faulty start button on my dyna hand controls. Rather than deal with rewiring everything to track the problem down I picked up this little bad boy I have a spyke starter so this button was a perfect fit. Three screws and a little adjustment of the plunger depth and you're good to go. <br />The instructions that came in the package spell it out. So easy a caveman could do if. <br />Now I don't have to worry about my start button deciding to leave me stranded anymore. <br />If you have a spyke starter and you're on the fence about this part...buy it. It's worth the money and piece of mind.

The best laid plans.

Buyer be ware. The adjustable screw can come loose and strike your solenoid causing a shortage in your electrical system, complete with fire and breakdown. There is a lock screw but it obviously does not always hold. This product cost me a new starter, battery and afternoon.
