Soarider Starter & Relay Kit for Honda FourTrax Foreman TRX500/TRX450/TRX400 — 12V PMDD CCW 10‑Tooth

Soarider Starter & Relay kit for Honda FourTrax Foreman replaces OEM 31200-HM7-003 / 31200-HM7-A41 and delivers a 12V PMDD starter with CCW rotation and 10 teeth.

This replacement starter motor and matching relay are built to restore reliable electric starting on a wide range of Honda FourTrax Foreman ATVs. The assembly is specified as a permanent-magnet direct-drive (PMDD) starter, running at 12 volts with counterclockwise (CCW) rotation and a 10-tooth pinion, and it ships with the relay needed for correct engagement. It’s offered as a direct-fit alternative to several OE and aftermarket part numbers so you can match with your vehicle’s year and trim before ordering.

Which Honda models and years will this starter fit?

The kit supports many FourTrax Foreman variants across model years in the product listing. It fits TRX400FW (1995–2003), TRX450S/ES/FM/FE ranges (1998–2004 depending on model), and many TRX500 Foreman models from 2005–2011. Some Rubicon or ER series require different model selections—check fitment closely.

How does this kit match my existing parts and part numbers?

The Soarider starter is engineered to interchange with multiple OE and aftermarket references so you can verify compatibility by cross-referencing part numbers. The listing cites the original Honda numbers and common aftermarket equivalents used by Lester, WAI, Arrowhead, Tucker Rocky, and others. Confirm the part numbers on your old starter or vehicle manual to ensure an accurate swap.

• Honda OEM references: 31200-HM7-003, 31200-HM7-A41
• Aftermarket cross-refs: Lester 18609/18638, WAI 18638N, Arrowhead SMU0216/SMU0048
• Additional matches: Tucker Rocky 495766, Wilson 71-26-18609

What are the electrical and mechanical specifications I need to know?

This unit is a 12-volt permanent-magnet direct-drive starter with a counterclockwise pinion rotation and 10 teeth. Those details determine engagement direction and gear mesh with the flywheel; mismatches can prevent proper engagement or cause damage. The kit includes the starter motor plus a starter relay so you get a complete starting circuit replacement.

• Voltage: 12 V suitable for standard ATV electrical systems
• Rotation: CCW (counterclockwise) — verify against your original starter
• Pinion: 10 teeth — check flywheel gear count for fit
• Starter Type: PMDD (permanent-magnet direct-drive)

How should I check fitment before buying?

Always compare the OEM part number, pinion teeth count, rotation and the connector type on your original starter to the specs listed here. If your Foreman is a Rubicon variant or an ER series with different model numbering, select the model specified for that line. When in doubt, remove the old starter and note the stamped or printed part number to cross-reference.

• Confirm OEM number on old starter matches listed replacements
• Verify 10-tooth pinion and CCW rotation visually
• Ensure electrical connector and mounting points align with your frame

Who is this for: This Soarider starter and relay kit is intended for owners, mechanics, and aftermarket parts shops restoring or repairing Honda FourTrax Foreman ATVs from the covered model years. It’s suited for riders who need a direct-fit replacement for corroded, worn, or failed starters and for anyone matching parts by OEM or common aftermarket interchange numbers. If your Foreman is a Rubicon series or a later ER model, double-check the model selection guidance before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
