A. Yes. The WAI 18757N is cross-referenced directly against Remy RS41236 as a brand-new replacement unit. It is also cross-referenced against Yamaha original-equipment references 3HE-81890-00-00 and 3HE818900000. If you are sourcing against any of these numbers, the 18757N is the corresponding WAI replacement. For fitment confirmation, use the selection widget or search our cross-referenced catalogue by OEM number — every cross-reference shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.
A. The 18757N is cross-referenced against two Yamaha original-equipment numbers: 3HE-81890-00-00 and 3HE818900000 (both refer to the same OE unit in formatted and unformatted notation). If either of those numbers appears on your original component or in your service documentation, the WAI 18757N is the listed replacement. Our Fit Guarantee covers every OE cross-reference shown.
A. The 18757N is a 12V, 0.7kW permanent magnet direct drive (PMDD) starter motor manufactured to Mitsuba specification. It has a 9-tooth pinion and runs in a counter-clockwise (CCW) direction. Confirm that voltage, power output, tooth count, and rotation direction all match your original unit before ordering — particularly rotation, which is not interchangeable.
A. PMDD stands for Permanent Magnet Direct Drive. Rather than using wound field coils to generate the magnetic field, the motor uses fixed permanent magnets, producing a more compact and lighter assembly with a consistent magnetic force. It is not interchangeable with conventional field-wound or gear-reduction designs, so the PMDD designation must match your original starter motor specification.
A. No. The WAI 18757N is supplied as a brand-new unit — there is no core exchange or surcharge required. It arrives fully assembled and ready to install.
A. Starter motors are designed to rotate in a specific direction — either clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW) when viewed from the drive end — to engage the ring gear correctly. Fitting a motor with the wrong rotation will cause the pinion to spin away from the ring gear rather than into it, preventing the engine from cranking. The WAI 18757N is CCW; verify this matches your original unit before purchasing.
