Spyke 1.4 kW Supertorque Starter For Harley
Spyke 1.4 kW Supertorque Starter: Unmatched Cranking for Your Harley-Davidson
The Spyke 1.4 kW Supertorque Starter is engineered for the rider who has experienced the frustration of “starter stall” on a hot engine. While factory starters often struggle to turn over high-compression or large-displacement V-Twin engines, the Spyke Supertorque is built to handle the load. This 1.4 kilowatt unit offers a significant increase in cranking power, making it the perfect upgrade for Stage II, III, or IV engine builds that demand more than the stock electrical system can deliver.
40% More Torque with Gear Reduction Technology
The secret to the Spyke’s performance is its advanced internal gear reduction system. By utilizing a specific gear ratio, the motor spins at a higher RPM while providing 40% more torque to the primary drive than a conventional starter. This ensures that even the most stubborn 100+ cubic inch motors turn over quickly and consistently, reducing the “grinding” and mechanical stress often associated with high-compression starts.
Efficient Low-Amp Draw Design
Powerful starters usually require massive amounts of current, which can quickly drain a battery. However, the Spyke 1.4 kW is designed for maximum electrical efficiency. It provides superior cranking power with a surprisingly low amperage draw, ensuring that more energy is available for your ignition system to produce a hot spark. This combination leads to faster ignition and less wear and tear on your battery and charging system.
Rugged Construction & Premium Components
Built to survive the intense heat and vibration of a V-Twin environment, the Spyke Supertorque features heavy-duty solenoids and premium internal windings. The clutch mechanism is reinforced to prevent the “spinning” failure common in lesser aftermarket starters. Each unit is housed in a sleek, compact body that fits within the factory location, maintaining the clean lines of your motorcycle while providing a massive boost in reliability.
