Wonder if somebody could help? I start my bike some times it doesn't turn over It seems it just spins. Would it just be the seliniod that i can change or do I need a new starter? This problem just started.
Sounds like the starter drive. You have to remove the primary cover to get at it. Not a big job, just takes a little time. You'll see it where the starter shaft and the clutch ring gear meet up. It bolts so the end of the starter shaft.
If the solenoid wasn't doing it's job (bad), the electrical circuit that it also furnished to the starter motor when the plunger pulls up wouldn't be there either and the starter motor wouldn't turn.
