68V-8194A-00-00 Starter Solenoid for Yamaha XLT 1200 2002-2005

Starter Solenoid for Yamaha

This starter solenoid replaces the factory relay on Yamaha XLT 1200 watercraft, switching high current to the starter motor so the engine cranks on command, and carries OEM cross-reference 68V-8194A-00-00.

Overview

This starter solenoid is a direct-fit electrical relay built for Yamaha XLT 1200 personal watercraft produced between 2002 and 2005. The starter solenoid carries the heavy amperage from the battery to the starter motor when you press the start button, letting a small control current trigger the engagement. It suits riders replacing a failed relay that has left the craft clicking or refusing to crank.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know the solenoid is the problem and not the starter? A: A single loud click with no crank often points to the solenoid contacts, while a starter issue usually shows as slow or grinding crank. Testing voltage at the starter terminal during a start attempt separates the two.

Q: Do I need to replace the battery cables at the same time? A: Only if the existing cables show corrosion, stiffness, or damaged insulation, since clean cables are essential to reliable starting. Inspect the lugs and replace the cables if the copper is green or frayed.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
