rick's motorsports electrics has a new upgraded design 4-brush permanent magnet starter for the 1983 - 1993 1st Gen Yamaha Venture ($219.95).

I bought one off ebay from Pinwall for about $50. It was used on a 96 RSTD with 30 something thousand miles on the bike they were parting out. The really neat thing about Pinwall is that they video the bike on a dyno before disassembling it.

I also picked a used 4-brush starter on eBay for around $100 - can't recall the exact amount. One of the best things I've ever done for my '84. Just barely have to look at the start button and the engine rolls over! I exaggerate of course, but it does make a huge difference. Venture or Vmax starters from '91 to '13 are four brush.
