| Post subject: | starter problems |
Thought I had a battery problem as the solenoid just made a click but the starter did not turn over. Changed to a brand new charged battery but same problem. Bypassed the solenoid to check if there was excessive voltage drop across the solenoid contacts but no change. Any suggestions ? If I have to change the starter, can a get a starter from a more recent ducati model ? If so which. It seems I have to remove the engine side cover to get at the mounting bolts. Do I have to drain the cooling system and remove the water pump to do this ? Any help would be great thanks |

Hi! If you want to remove the starter motor you will need to pull the left side cover off and unfortunately that means draining the cooling system and motor oil. Probably you need just new brushes and there is no need to buy new starter motor. |

Use the search engine above next to the FAQ and key in "Starter Problems" there are lots of discussions for the 906 and 907 which may assist you, it could be your starter sprag spring or earth problems etc, I would have a good look through the articles first before I start stripping the bike down. Have a multi meter handy aswell.  Good Luck.

Hi, Just had the same thing on my P750 last month. The solenoid clicks but the starter will not turn. It was the starter motor brushes, one was worn right down. Purchased a "replacement kit" for $65 which included the mounting plate, brushes etc. It is possible to get the cap off the starter motor while it is on the bike, but refitting the brush plate is impossible, you need to remove the starter motor for that. So, you might as well just dive in and get the side cover off to remove the starter motor. Cheers, Fraser. |

Thanks for the responses. Sorry I did not respond earlier. Have not been able to log in for the last 4 days Does anyone know where to get a new or refurbished starter for the 906 and also a gasket set ? Was quoted $ 554.00 just for the starter by the local dealer for Ducati part. |

Hi, try these guys. I bought one off them and it was the exact same one as i pulled out. They also have brush kits. Your local ducati dealer can get a starter motor gasket. http://www.stockers.com/ |

You can use starter motor off later models, think mine came off a 748, check if you still have the label with its part number.When removing LH engine cover make sure you remove all cap head bolts! use a light to ensure you do.I was advised to use DUCATI grey sealant in lieu of paper gasket, which I was told was not avaialable anymore..it worked! |

Im pretty sure that the starter was also used on a few jappers so a 2nd hand one might not be to hard to find ( check the parts compatibility post in the F A Q's ) , But if its is indeed the starter motor thats the problem it is more than likely the brushes. If you do remove the starter strip it down and give it a good clean out. Dust from the worn comutator and brushes accumulates inside , pays to check the seals o ring too as water getting in is not good
