Desmo starter gearing

  1. Hi guys, looked everywhere but can't find it.

    I believe the Desmo's changed the gearing for the starter to make them start better. I have a 2000 996SPS which has 70 teeth on the big gear. Is this the later/best version?

    Cheers

  2. Ask Rich at Lougi Moto, he sorted mine out as the original gearing was a bit poor with a high comp motor.
     
  3. Thanks Duc, I've fired off an email to him. So you have had this done to your bike? How much of a difference did it make? Was it worth the expense?
     
  4. Yes mine was done at the same time I had some engine work done. It starts way easier even with a lightweight battery and I would consider it a worthwhile mod.
