We just went through this about a month ago. With our mono-wheel XS
with 912S, we were able to change ours out in one evening, without
removing the engine. We just had to move the oil reservoir temporarily
(loosen the mounting bands, let it hang from the hoses), and maybe the
#3 exhaust header (I don't quite remember on that part). Others have
talked about having to modify the starter, cutting off a mounting ear or
some such thing. Ours required no modification of that kind.

Subject: Europa-List: 912S starter motor
I don't have too many problems with kickback yet but considering the
comments made and to forestall any problems in the future, I am
considering swopping the starter on my 912S for the heavy duty model. I
have contacted Skydrive who will supply an exchange at a discount but I
have to return the old one within two weeks. Can anyone who has already
fitted a new starter tell me if it is a relatively simple job to swop
over with the engine in situ or does it need modification / engine out?
