Quick answer: Before you order motorcycle starter carbon brushes wholesale, decide whether you need a carbon-brush pair, a brush holder, or a brush-holder kit. Then confirm the exact motorcycle and starter-motor reference, what comes in one set, and whether the supplier can verify that configuration in writing. A model name by itself is not enough evidence for interchangeability.
This guide uses one current VOBOM catalogue listing as an example. The seller lists the application as WAVE110/125/CD110 and offers three configuration labels. The saved source record does not give a part number, and the application has not been independently verified. Treat the model text as a supplier reference to check, not as a fitment guarantee.
What does the current listing show?
The product page is titled “Starter Motor Carbon Brush Assembly for WAVE110/125/CD110.” It offers a brush-holder kit, a carbon-brush pair, and a brush holder. These names describe different purchasing choices, but the source does not spell out every component included in each option. Ask the supplier to list the contents of the selected set before you compare quotations.
| Configuration shown | What to confirm before ordering | Source-record note |
|---|---|---|
| Brush-holder kit | Does the set include the brush pair, holder, springs, terminal, insulation pieces, or other parts? Ask for a photo of the exact option packed for sale. | The source uses the label “brush-holder kit,” but does not enumerate all included pieces. |
| Carbon brush pair | Confirm that “pair” means two brushes, and ask for the brush dimensions, lead or terminal style, and whether a separate holder is required. | The source lists the option as a carbon-brush pair; it does not provide a part number. |
| Brush holder | Ask whether brushes, springs, terminals, and covers are included or whether the order is for the holder alone. | The source lists “brush holder” as a separate configuration. |
The saved catalogue lists a minimum order of one set for each option and shows indicative product-only reference prices. They are not a confirmed quotation; freight is excluded, and current price and availability must be reconfirmed. Do not compare two offers until both suppliers have quoted the same configuration and packing unit.
Why should buyers verify the exact model and starter motor?
The current listing groups WAVE110, WAVE125, and CD110 in one application line. That line is useful for search and supplier discussion, but it does not identify a specific year, market version, engine code, starter-motor manufacturer, or OEM reference. A replacement that looks similar may still have a different holder shape, brush lead, terminal position, or set scope. Those details should be checked against the removed part or a matching parts catalogue.
For a model-specific example, the Boon Siew Honda 2019 Wave Alpha 110 K71 V4 parts catalogue lists a starter motor unit, a brush set, and carbon-brush springs as separate catalogue items. That document applies to its identified variant only; it does not confirm that the VOBOM WAVE110/125/CD110 listing fits that motorcycle. Use the exact model code and part reference for the bike you are buying for.
Send the supplier the motorcycle make, model, year or market version, engine or chassis code where available, and the number printed on the starter motor or old part. Add clear photos of the removed brush assembly from both sides, close-ups of the holder and terminals, and a ruler in the frame if dimensions matter. Ask the seller to confirm the application in writing and identify any unresolved difference before payment.
What should you ask about dimensions and packing?
The saved record lists dimensions of 10 × 5 × 3 cm. It does not say whether these are for one brush, the selected set, or retail packaging. It also lists weights by option, but does not define whether they are net, gross, or packed weights. These figures are not enough to estimate shipping volume or freight.
For a wholesale quote, request the dimensions and weight basis for the actual selected configuration, then ask for the inner-pack quantity, outer-carton dimensions, gross carton weight, and carton count at your order quantity. Have the supplier confirm whether the label or bag will identify the selected option and reference. Product measurements and shipping-carton data serve different purposes; keep them in separate lines on the quote.
Use this buyer checklist before approving a bulk order
- Identify the motorcycle: make, exact model, year or market version, and engine or chassis code if available.
- Identify the starter motor: supplier or OEM part number, label photo, or clear photos of the removed assembly.
- Select one configuration: brush-holder kit, carbon-brush pair, or brush holder. Do not let a generic “set” label stand in for an itemized contents list.
- Confirm the fitment evidence: ask the seller to match the reference or sample and state any limits or unverified applications.
- Confirm the specification basis: brush dimensions, lead or terminal details, holder shape, quantity per set, and the measurement basis for any listed size or weight.
- Confirm commercial terms: MOQ for the selected option, current product price, quote validity, availability, and whether a sample is available.
- Confirm packing and shipping separately: inner pack, carton size and gross weight, destination, freight method, and any excluded duties or destination charges.
- Approve one written reference: keep the agreed option name, photos, part reference, quantity, price, and packing in the purchase order.

Frequently asked questions
Does the WAVE110/125/CD110 application line guarantee fitment?
No. It is the application text in the seller record. The saved source does not provide an exact part number or independent fitment confirmation. Send the exact model version and starter-motor reference, then get written confirmation for the selected option.
Does the brush-holder kit include a carbon-brush pair?
The source record names the configuration but does not itemize all pieces in the kit. Ask the supplier for an option-specific contents list or photo before comparing price or placing an order.
Can I order one set?
The current catalogue record lists an MOQ of one set for each option. Availability, current MOQ, price, and freight still need confirmation for the order date and destination.
Compare the three listed configurations on the starter motor carbon-brush product page, browse the starter motor parts category, or send your fitment photos and wholesale quantity for a quote. The current listing is for product inquiry; reconfirm stock and terms before ordering.
