About This Product
This MCS ball bearing fits the commutator end of the starter motor on Sportsters. It replaces OEM part number 8878. It fits 1981 to 1990 XL Sportster models and 1991 to 1994 883 Sportsters. A worn bearing drags, squeals, or seizes and will eventually kill the starter. Fit this during a starter motor rebuild to keep the armature running true and the bike firing on the button.
Manufacturer part number: 998877.
