This might be a long shot here, but I figure it could not hurt to ask so...
The starter motor on my 09 696 is starting to fail. After being quoted a steep price for Ducati replacement, I've been looking to source it myself. My research has led me to the following information.
The parts catalogue has the part listed as: 270.4.011.1A
There is an ebay auction that has the part listed as: 270.4001.1A
On subsequent searches, the latter part number links to the Denso Part 128000-6050 & 128000-6051
There are a number of sites out there that sell replacement starters, that are not Denso/OEM, but they are about 1/3 - 1/2 of the cost.
So my questions are:
1. Are 270.4.011.1A & 270.4001.1A the same part?
2. Is a generic replacement starter a good buy or is it better to get the OEM part?
Any advice would be appreciated.
