Hey guys

I'm working on a 2000 Buell S3T, 1200 engine. At this point the starter has crapped out. I'm trying to find out if a starter from the same year sportsters will bolt up to this thing? I know this is a Buell, but I'm having a hard time getting information on these bikes. I have owned a sportster years ago, and think these Buell,s engines are basicly the HD sportster 1200. Any input would be helpful guys.

 

Go to the www.XLforum.net and look done the thread list for the right place to ask that question. A lot of experience on that site. Here no so much.

 

Stock starter for that is HD part number 31390-91, which is the same part number as the Sportster starter that fits from 1981-present (the -91 is a 1991 part number, but it backdates fine to some older sportsters).

 

Ok , Thanks guys
I will post over on the XL Forum as well..

 

If the bike is yours it is well worth getting the parts book, which will enable you to check part numbers. A factory service manual is also very useful, both books available from your local friendly Harley dealer. I have a Firebolt and have been able to get all the parts I need for it so far.

 

As one other said the starter is the same as a 2000 Sportster.

 

Thanks guys
I found the number on the original starter 31391-91A, so I should be able to get a starter for this bike now. The label was hidden under the black paint.

GrBrown, no this is not mine. The owner does not have any manual for it.

Thanks again guys

 

Just an FYI, they've had A LOT of iterations of that starter. I think the current OEM one for your buell is a 91F model. But basically any one will work. If you're looking to completely replace them, I recommend an All ***** starter. I got mine on amazon for about $140 brand new. It's much nicer than the OEM one.
