Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, electrical or fuel-system version, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part and application information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does one click prove the starter is bad? A: No. A relay may click even when the battery, cables, relay contacts, ground, or starter drive cannot carry the load.
Q: Why are Grizzly models listed with a Kodiak title? A: Yamaha catalogs the same starter reference across compatible Kodiak and Grizzly applications.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
