Thunder-end needle cage Rotax Max (20)

Complete description: why is this cage vital?

Even if it turns only a few seconds at each start, this part is subjected to tough test:

1. Friction reduction: By replacing a simple steel / aluminum friction with a needle bearing, it facilitates the work of the electric motor and preserves your battery.

2. Horing accuracy: It keeps the axis perfectly centered. If this cage takes play, the launcher shaft goes through and ends with "nibble" the teeth of the starter crown.

3. Compactness: Its design "needle socket" provides significant loads in an extremely small space.

4. Longevity of the crankcase: It avoids that the starter shaft does not come directly to the aluminum of the engine crankcase, which would make the engine block irreparable.

💡 Michel's trick

"This is the piece we forget all the time to grease! Every time you dismount your launcher or you clean your engine, put a small hazelnut of lithium fat inside. If it works dry, the needles will heat up, mark the axis, and your starter will start making a scrap stream. My advice: If you feel that your starter sentences or does an acute whistle, check this cage. If the needles fall when you remove the axis, change it immediately! "

🎓 TUTO: Mounting and maintenance

1. Cleaning: Use a cotton swab with degreaser to clean the housing before inserting the new cage.

2. Insertion: The cage must be inserted straight. Use a bronze jet or a socket with an outside diameter of the cage to tap gently. Never hit the needles directly!

3. Lubrication: Once in place, garnish the clean grease inside (type XPS or universal grease of quality).

4. Inspection of the axis: Before going up the launcher, check that the end of the shaft is not blue or dug. If the axis is damaged, it will destroy your new cage in a few starts.
