    Hi everyone,

    the starter motor of the gsx250 1983 has died, I order a 2nd hand one from a bike wreckers with warranty and it didn't work and now they will not answer my calls very frustrating.
    does anyone else know where I can get a starter motor asap from in nsw

    cheers

    That would suggest your battery may not be 100%, worth checking.
    Also worth checking is your starter motor relay ??? could this be the culprit.
