My HP2's starter motor is developing certain SA tendencies: lazy, loud, power hungry and dishonest.

It is time for a change. A new one is R5500.
ACME has a 2010 one for R2500.
HSK has had his recon-ed for R800-ish.

But Shane at Atlantic Motorrad (who I trust implicitly) has warned me against recon as they've had it done for customers, often with less-than-good long-term results.

WWYD?

Please, only guys who have experience and/or knowledge of this particular matter. This is a non-peanut gallery friendly thread.
