When you push the starter button you hear a click , so you know the button is working. Follow the positive battery cable to the starter solenoid. Take a wire and jump the two posts on the solenoid or touch the two cables together. If your starter works, then you need a new solenoid. If you hold the starter button and tap on the starter with a plastic hammer and the starter works you need new starter brushes. Anything else wrong with the starter and you need to replace the starter assembly , the manufacturer does not make replacement parts for the starter.
I'm having this same issue. Did the solenoid fix the problem?
Changed the starter solenoid/relay fixed the problem. Fyi

Thank you. I went ahead and ordered a starter solenoid to see if it fixes the problem. Originally, I was driving my bike down the highway when it just turned off on me (I was test driving it after getting the carbs cleaned from letting gas sit in there). I'm thinking the carbs were not cleaned properly thus causing the bike to turn off. So I kept starting the bike back up while still spinning on the highway and I would get it to turn back on but it kept shutting off. After about 4 re-starts, then it didn't even want to start. I am thinking I might have blown the relay. Any other opinions on what might have happened?? Sorry for the long story.
