ok got an update on the bike. Pulled the starter today to take it apart. Still trying to figure out what the broken stuff is obviously a part that needs replacing. But everything else looks pretty good I think. This is the first time I've took apart a starter so not sure what good looks like. Anybody know what the broken part is before I look it up?
The broken part is called a "starter". Buy a new or used one.Quote:

I checked the specs on everything else and everything is up to specs. Yep I'm a cheap bastard lol.

They are called brushes. Available from an electric motor repair shop. Clean up the comutator before you pit it all back together again.
Thanks degsy but aren't the brushes the square metal things that fit in the slots connected to wires? THe peices I found almost seem plastic like they were once square when they were once whole. What I think are the brushes still measure 7/16 long which would put them within service specs. I could be wrong here.
Both brushes look fine. I have no idea what the broken bits are.
Possibly the brush holder, or epoxy from around the windings.
One piece looks to have a portion of a bolt hole remaining. I would guess that it is indeed a part of the brush plate.

I think you will only be able to buy a complete brush assembly which will include everything that's token.Quote:

I forget, why is the starter out and apart? What was the original symptom?
I have to change the terminal stud because it was rusted and broke the connector and when I pulled it aprt these peices came out I think they're a spacer for the terminal stud in the cap because there is a square groove in the thing
Make one out of epoxy
Analyze and overcome
find a used one for cheap... what kind of ninja ?Quote:

I assumed it's a ZX600 E3.

I see more than 10 ninja starters on eBay for under $20
