FAQs
What does the 9-tooth count indicate?
The 9-tooth count refers to the number of teeth on the pinion gear that meshes with the engine's flywheel, and it must match your original starter to prevent mechanical damage.
Can I use this on a right-rotation engine?
No, this unit is specifically designed for left-hand rotation and will not function correctly on a clockwise-rotation system.
How do I know if my starter is failing?
Common signs include a whining noise during startup, sluggish turnover, or clicking sounds without engine rotation.
Is any lubrication required for the pinion gear?
Generally, the internal components are sealed; however, a light application of high-temperature grease on the pinion gear shaft is often recommended during installation.
Does this motor include the solenoid?
The Valeo 700.09.95 is designed as a complete starter assembly, typically including the solenoid for integrated operation.
Troubleshooting
Starter engages but engine turns over slowly
Check battery voltage and clean all electrical cable contact points for corrosion.
Clicking sound heard when pressing the start button
Inspect the starter relay and ensure the battery has sufficient charge to engage the solenoid.
Starter motor does not engage at all
Verify the neutral safety switch, clutch switch, and main ignition fuses are functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, disconnect the motorcycle battery to prevent accidental short-circuits. Verify that the mounting flange matches your existing housing and that the 9-tooth pinion gear aligns perfectly with the flywheel. When installing, ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s specification to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Periodically inspect the starter terminals for oxidation and tighten connections if necessary. Avoid continuous engagement for longer than 10 seconds to prevent overheating the motor windings, as prolonged cranking can significantly shorten the lifespan of any starter component.
