FYI, on my '82 CSR, after I put in the 1135/10.25 pistons, I installed a starter from a Honda CB900. Made a HUGE difference. The stock KZ starter really struggled to turn the engine, and the CB starter turned with no effort. It wasn't exactly a direct bolt-on swap though. The power cable terminal post was in a different position, and I had to use a grinder to clearance the engine cover.

they come in booth flavours, u will have to ask the seller to look at the starter, it is stamped on the side.
u will need to clearance your sprocket cover to fit over the starter wire.

So will any j or gpz starter work?
As far as i know all the later J style ( KZ11 - GPZ11 ETC ) engines with no kickstart provision use the heavier duty four brush motors which are a straight bolt in upgrade.
