Hi,
I have a starter relay that is badly coroded here and there, i saw original replacement on wemoto for 28.80 pounds plus shipping. Ebay is full of much cheaper ones from Far East. This is not a performance part by any stretch and I am sure wemoto part comes from China as well. Any thoughts experience with cheap replacement for this particular oem part? Ride safe Greg |

So the original one works but you want to change it for cosmetic reasons? Have I got that right? If so, I'd go original but that's because I am too old to go push-starting the thing if it packs up!
If you have an actual problem and are also hard-up, well, give it a go but these things can bite you on the bum as you end up buying the right thing in the end anyway. |

Oh yes I forgot to mention it but the 30 amp fuse connections are iffy from the rust, so much oxidation that I cant clean it up anymore. Bike stopped working for this reason once, I was able to wiggle the fuse in and support it at the angle to get the contact back but the relay is more less fecked at this stage.
Thanks, Greg |

I have no experience of them, but I would personally go for an OEM relay as I've seen some incredibly shonky Chinese circuitry in the past. It may not be performance-affecting, but there's a lot of current going through it and it's not in the best of places if it starts a fire ...

Wemoto parts are normally good.
