I'm hoping to get the starter motor opened up today to get a proper look, I'm still very new to bikes though, this being my first bike and I've been doing all the work on it myself, with my brothers help. It was narrowed down to the starter motor and brushes, as the wiring is all good, starter clutch was recently repaired, new battery and the starter relay is working fine. I'm now researching opening it up and how to clean it so I don't muck it up today lol From what I've seen while looking for brushes is that they are discontinued, hence trying to find ones compatible. But I'll have a look and see if I can bring some life back into my current ones with Hairsy's advice!

Hi there, I got a 92 SR 125 at the start of the year. It's been a project and a half. I had it on the road for about a month before it wouldn't start. I've narrowed the issue down to the starting motor, I reckon it just needs a good clean and possibly new brushes. However, I can't find brushes for my year of bike and don't want to get one's that aren't compatible. I was hoping someone could inform me of other years from the model that would be compatible, or other models that would be compatible. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I just keep seeming to go in circles online without getting any new information.
