Repairing/replacing the starter motor

[AlvaSpeed]

I had the starter motor failure at 5,000 miles on my '00 Hayabusa.
How difficult is to do the repair?
What are the parts needed to do the 2003 upgrade?
Costs?
I am in Panama, Central America.(so no warranty, no recalls)
Thanks,
Alvaro

Well I'm not sure how things work down there, but trying contacting Suzuki Corp and let them know your situation. There is a bullentin out about starter clutch failure on 99-02 Hayabusas. I just had mine replace after going out and Suzuki foot the bill on all my parts, I paid labor $140.00.

What parts did they change and what is their cost?
I understand you did not pay for the parts

what is wrong with the starter is the first question??

When you push the start button you hear some grinding going on .........Like the starter does not fully engage.

did you ever have the cam chain recall done??
sound more like starter clutch or cam chain.

The engine runs fine. I push started it and rode it for a while.
It is just when you try to start with the push button that you hear/feel the grinding.
What cam chain recall?
