Description of Electronic Specialties 165 Black Starter

Starter Buddy Diagnoses: Starter & Solenoid, Positive Cable, Negative Cable, Battery (under load). Starter Buddy tests the health of the vehicle's electrical starting/cranking circuit. Slow cranks and no cranks are most likely caused by excessive voltage drops (resistance). If excessive resistance exists, Starter Buddy will help you quickly locate and diagnose which part of the circuit has the issue. Just 3 connections and a 3 second cranking test diagnose the problem. 12 foot test leads allow safe connections and control of the cranking test from the driver's seat. Starter Buddy includes a training DVD with three 15 minute training videos covering.

Disappointing Motorcycle Starter: Don't Waste Your Money

This automotive starter was a complete letdown. Although it had a decent price point, it didn't perform well at all.The starter struggled to get my bike going and even caused some issues during ignition. The only good thing I can say about it is that it was easy to install. Overall i WOULDN`T recommend this motorcycle part to anyone..

Pros
  • Easy to use and install
Cons
  • Potentially incompatible with certain models of cars

Reliable Motorcycle Starter

this starter is perfect for my motorcycle. Based ON our own experience, it functions flawlessly. The installation was quick and easy and the unit is very durable. The price is excellent for what it offers and it is a great addition for any automotive enthusiast. The only con is that it can be a bit noisy while starting up.Overall, a highly recommended product for any motorcycle owner looking for a reliable starter..

Pros
  • Reliable and durable for starting a variety of vehicles
Cons
  • Some users have reported difficulty with installation due to its size and weight

Works as advertised but could be improved

Works as advertised. 4 instead of 5 stars for the following reason: The two magnetic clamps (the ones with the black rubber sleeves) are too big. It was very difficult to fit into tight spaces and still have enough room to compress the spring clips enough to fasten them. The labels on the wires appear to be home printed and pasted onto the plastic labels. The unit itself has a workshop quality feel to it. While this doesn't and shouldn't affect performance, it definitely doesn't have a…

Pros
  • Starter Buddy checks vehicle's start/motor circuit for troubleshooting
Cons
  • Difficult to tell
