OEX Starter Motor 12V 9T CW Mitsuba Style SMX074

The OEX Starter Motor SMX074 is a 12V unit with 9 teeth and clockwise rotation, built in a Mitsuba style for applications that call for that starter pattern. It is supplied as a new starter motor, not a remanufactured unit, and it uses a pad style starter mount.

Key physical details matter here: the overall length is 188mm, the flange diameter is 30mm, the pinion diameter is 11mm, and the mounting centres are 46mm at A and 25mm at B. The mount hole diameter is 6mm, which gives you useful reference points when matching the starter to the original unit.

This starter motor is listed as suitable for wet or dry clutch applications and weighs 2.04kg. It is backed by a 3 year passenger warranty and 1 year commercial warranty, which gives the buyer a clear warranty path depending on how the vehicle is used.

Application and Buying Notes

When matching SMX074, compare the 12V rating, 9 tooth count, clockwise rotation and Mitsuba style against the original starter motor. Those points are often the quickest way to rule a unit in or out before looking at the mounting dimensions.

The physical measurements are just as important as the electrical details. Check the 188mm overall length, 30mm flange diameter, 46mm and 25mm mount centres, 6mm mount hole diameter and 11mm pinion diameter against the existing starter so the unit sits and engages correctly.

The warranty is split between passenger and commercial use, with 3 years for passenger and 1 year for commercial. That makes the intended use important when you are comparing replacement options, as the warranty term depends on how the unit is used.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number SMX074 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include KAWASAKI 1100 ZXI, KAWASAKI 1100 ZXI 1996, KAWASAKI 1100 ZXI 1997, KAWASAKI 1100 ZXI 1998, SEADOO GS, SEADOO GS 1997. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching the part number SMX074, the 12V 9 tooth clockwise Mitsuba style specification, and the mounting and pinion measurements against the original starter motor and vehicle application before ordering.
