Problem solved. Ordered a factory starter. The cost difference does not make up for the time I wasted trying to save a buck. I should have taken the advise given on this site and saved myself the aggravation. Thanks everyone for the help and guidance.

OK after many hours trying to get this replacement starter back in I pulled it out and measured everything.and compared it to the old starter.The mounting holes are 3mm farther out than the old starter and why I cannot get the bolts to start. I also notced that the starter gear is 5 mm longer...

What a PITA this is. I cannot get the starter bolts back in. If I get the starter inserted I cannot get the bolts in without the starter shifting . I just dont have enought hands. Anyone had luck supporting the starter when you try and start the bolts?

OK, old starter finally out by using bracing and straps indicated in other post. Now working on trying ti seat starter and get bolts started. Opened up old starter and the magnets had fragmented in the starter binding everything up. Any special tricks to getting the new starter seated...

No. I was told that it was not needed

Thanks for the help.

I am using that lift points by the front mounts. I am lifting from a beam in the wattage. I noticed that someone else used wood across the upper frame. Maybe gives more clearance?

Who is the vendor?

I found the 8gl81890-01-00 number on Yamaha Parts Nation. Just checked it again and this is what is listed. Checked other parts site and they list the 00-00 number. That is why I was concerned.

Thank you. This is very helpful.

DBelectrical has a starter #410-54116 that they say fits my machine but they reference Yamaha# 8GL81890-00-00 . Looking at yamaha replacement parts the number I find is 8GL81890-01-00. Does anyone know what the difference is between the 00-00 and the 01-00 units?

yes, I found the information in a owners manual. Nothing comes on until engine is running. Not an ideal design.

I called a local Yamaha dealer today and all yamaha starters are on backlog until end of December. He is pushing aftermarket but has to order it. None in stock. Sounds like there is a high demand for starters currently.

I have read many posts about starter replacement and am totally confused. Some people say stay with OEM but then I read that OEM has magnet issues hence reason for failure. Aftermarket starters vary in price dramatically. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality aftermarket starter...

Thank you for the response. Not looking forward to it.

I purchased a used 2006 vector gt. It has a starter issue. But when i turn the key on I see no indication of power on the display panel. Is this normal? I would have expected some activity on the display panel. Battery showing 12.59 volts and when I try to start I get a clicking noise in...

Tried changing solenoid. Same issue. Just clicks so it looks like I need to pull starter. Looking for directions on how to..Any advise is welcome.

Can someone tell me where I can find the starter instructions posted by Grizzltracks? I have spent hours looking for this and cannot find it.

Where can I find a wiring diagram for a 2006 vector GT? Looking to chase wiring from switch to starter. No starter movement, just a click from solenoid
