Hi every all

Some one can tell me, how is the rotation sens of the KZ440 starter (Mitsuba SM 8203) ¿CW or CCW.?
Thanks in advance.
Regards!!

I'm pretty sure that all 400, 440 and 750 twins have a CCW rotating crank so the starter would have to be the same. This came up in a relatively recent thread here

Hi, thanks for reply .
I have doubt about, because in one starter site say CW.
Regards.

I talkin about thats

What is wrong with your old one?

Hi
I rebulid all the motorcycle (complete restoration) The original starte has the magnet broken. I got one used but working. And de doubt is the rotation. looking the shaft turno to de right (CW) .
Here in Argentina is hard to get starter from this model in good condition.
Thanks.
Regards.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf you look at the timing advancer, it should have an arrow in the CCW rotation.
Also, the timing marks are CCW as well. so the crankshaft turns CCW.



.... For comparison: the 1981 KZ650 crankshaft is CW. I don't know if the starter spins in the same direction as the crankshaft.

While fixing my points last night, I spent a lot of time turning the engine from the bolt behind the points cover. The rotation direction from this side is anti-clockwise. So from the starter side of the engine, it rotates clockwise. The starter rotates the same direction, so if you're looking at the sprocket-side of the starter, it rotates clockwise.

Kawasaki twin engines turn anti-ClockWise (ccw) on the Points side = so they have to rotate ClockWise (cw) on the starter/sproket side!!!

I have no idea about Majik, so i have to ask to explain please.

That the crank rotates clockwise on one end and counter-clockwise on the other must be magic.
