New BMW R80 Starter Motor | Bosch or Valeo?

[@michaelelse9328]

It's always amazing how unique this engine is....

[@MotoWrenchers]

Yes, I really learned to appreciate the airheads during this project.

[@mrbookends]

After I got rid of my R9T I stopped watching your channel but this is a good reminder of why I started watching in the first place - you do a great job with your presentation and filming!

[@MotoWrenchers]

Hey man, thank you so much. I appreciate the kind feedback. Did you get another bike after the R9T?

[@kihestad]

I am always impressed by the clever and beautiful design of these engines 🤩 Well done job!

[@MotoWrenchers]

I‘m the same 🤩 there were quite a few moments during this project when I was wowed by the cleverness of engineering.

[@HeavyMetalParkingSpot]

Keeping my fingers crossed the battery will survive this time! 😅🤞

[@MotoWrenchers]

Same here. Soon I'll find out :D

[@andyberhaahn]

I went for the smaller/lighter on my R80 and so far so good also with a lithium battery

[@MotoWrenchers]

That’s great to hear. Would be a shame if the Ultrabatt wouldn’t make it in the end. It’s possible to add a second one but that kind off defeats the purpose of it being so small 😂 Which battery do you run?

[@andyberhaahn]

@MotoWrenchers Aliant YLP14

Hi, thank you for all your exciting videos! I have a Toyota genuine part (made by Denso) cell motor built into my R100. It consumes less power than the original and has the strongest power. It's pricey, but worth it. It's a popular choice in Japan

[@markmetzger5430]

Who knew a Denso starter motor would fit the BMW! Thanks for the tip 😸

[@MotoWrenchers]

I just had a look at the Denso ones. Those seem to be the premium option. It’s good to know, should the valeo loose magnets at some point. Thanks a lot!

[@petermosdell580]

Does the triangular mounting bracket at the front of the engine that bolts to the Bosch starter motor need modifying to fit or is it eliminated with the Valeo ? 🤔

[@BraydenBall-vg8fx]

Eliminated with the Valeo

[@MotoWrenchers]

@BraydenBall-vg8fx yes, thank you 🙏💪

[@richardsalsman1069]

Or Nippon Denso

[@nickclark8709]

Nippon Denso far better!

[@MotoWrenchers]

Thanks for sharing brother 💪
