Hi There
I have an 08 GS1200. Love it. But it's starting to age and have recently moved to a rather rural location in scotland, so having to diagnose problems myself more. When pressing the starter button just get a click occasionally then it starts. decided to change the battery. Exactly the same problem. So have decided that it must be the starter motor. Vines of guildford quoted me £420 plus vat I started looking on ebay. Don't yet know if mine is a Bosh or Valeo but prices look a lot better. Does anyone have experience of buying a starter motor for my model of bike? Can't see immediately on the bike without starting to strip which brand of starter it is?
Would appreciate some advice on what to buy on ebay etc.
Thanks
