>motors are inductors. inductors try to stabilize current

not quite. the motor becomes a generator when you cut off power to it: a moving coil in a magnetic field makes a generator, as everyone learned in high school physics. in this case, a DC generator where the polarity is always the opposite of the previously applied voltage.

even a weak diode (1N4001) should be able to handle that generated current easily.
