i got water in my starter a while back and the bearings rusted to the point it wouldnt turn over. I pulled the starter and had it rebuilt locally. It was less than $50. :2thumbs:

Sounds like you sheared off the shaft to the starter. Pull off your primary cover and look. Just a little time and a bottle of fluid to put back in when you close it up but this is where I would look. They punch out when you hit it and does not mesh once or twice and puts a fracture in the shaft and then one time you hit it and it turns over and breaks off. Double check that your compression releases are working as well.

Neil is right - I had 2 break on me. That was back when I had an ECH.. What was happening was a timing issue on start up - Think of an old style kick start bike and you know how sometimes you would get a "back kick". That's what was going on in the shaft in the starter only spins in one direction. If you try to spin in backwards, it will shear off.
