Soarider Starter & Relay for Honda Rancher TRX350 (2000–2006) — 12V PMDD, 9-Tooth CCW

Soarider Starter & Relay is a direct-fit 12V replacement starter motor and solenoid assembly engineered to revive the starting performance of Honda TRX350 Rancher models from 2000–2006.

If your Rancher 350 has slow cranking, intermittent starts, or a worn starter assembly, this Soarider kit replaces both the PMDD (permanent magnet direct drive) starter motor and the matching starter solenoid to restore reliable engagement. The unit matches OEM mounting, connector types, and gear count so installation is straightforward for most home mechanics and repair shops. Before purchase, confirm compatibility using the listed part numbers and year/model information to ensure a proper fit.

What Honda models and years does this starter fit?

This starter and relay were designed to fit Honda FourTrax Rancher TRX350FE, TRX350FM, TRX350TE, and TRX350TM produced between 2000 and 2006. It replaces multiple OEM part numbers used across those model years.

• Compatible vehicles: TRX350FE FourTrax Rancher 4x4 ES and TRX350FM/TE/TM Rancher models, 2000–2006.
• Replaces part numbers: 31200-HN5-671, 31200-HN5-A81, 31200-HN5-M01 and related cross-references.
• Check year and model on your service manual or the original starter label before ordering.

How does the starter's specification affect performance?

The Soarider unit is a 12-volt PMDD starter with a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation and a 9-tooth pinion gear, matching the Rancher’s drive requirements. These specs ensure correct engagement with the engine flywheel and preserve starter longevity when installed properly.

• Voltage: 12V for standard ATV electrical systems.
• Rotation: CCW to match Honda Rancher engine orientation.
• Pinion: 9 teeth for proper engagement with the flywheel ring gear.
• Type: PMDD (permanent magnet direct drive) for compact, efficient starting torque.

What’s included and what should I prepare for installation?

The package contains one starter motor and one starter solenoid relay, giving you the primary components needed to replace a failing start assembly. Basic hand tools and safe battery disconnection procedures are required; installation time varies depending on access and model year layout.

• Included: 1x starter motor + 1x starter solenoid relay.
• Tools: sockets, wrenches, and possibly a torque wrench for mounting hardware.
• Prep: disconnect the battery, note wiring locations, and verify part numbers match OEM references.

How can I verify this part matches my original starter?

Compare the replacement to your original starter’s part number, tooth count, rotation direction, and mounting bolt pattern before installing. Visual checks and spec matching prevent fitment issues and reduce return delays.

• Match part numbers: 31200-HN5-671 / 31200-HN5-A81 / 31200-HN5-M01 and cross refs like 18607 or SMU0215.
• Confirm 9-tooth pinion and CCW rotation against the old unit.
• Check connector type and mounting hole spacing for a direct swap.

Who this is for: This Soarider starter and relay kit is intended for Rancher 350 owners, ATV mechanics, and restoration projects needing a reliable, OEM-style replacement between 2000 and 2006. Choose this kit if you want correct electrical specs, matching gear count, and both starter and solenoid included to simplify repairs and reduce downtime.
