Sounds like the brushes are sticking. May be time to remove the starter disassemble and clean it up and replace a set of new brushes. Clean computator real well and remove residue left behind in the groves. Use a green pot scrubber to finalize the cleaning of the brass computations.

SOURCE: My SYM EuroMX 125 won't start. Starter motor doesn't turn.

Check the wiring for a loose connector. Check grounding. The click is most likely the solenoid that is supposed to connect the high amperage to the starter motor.
Possibly:
Starter motor needs replaced
Wiring batt> starter came apart/ worn through insul.
so electricity not getting to starter.
Engine locked up - starter can't turn it (bad news)

Call the dealer or mfr about a service manual, or look up clymer books (publications?). Meantime, goto library reference section 646

SOURCE: Honda Varadero 125. Not starting.

Hi !
First check if the current is coming from ignition coil....
If YES ... then the spark plug is burnt(shorted) Get new plugs.
If NO... then there could be a problem with the ignition coil itself Or the coil in the dynamo is burnt.... Regards

that sounds like the starter motor bendix spring not returning , some starter motors can be repaired but most are mostly replaced, if you can get to the starter motor easily try tapping it with a hammer , this could help release the bendix until you get new motor

My 2006 V Star 1100 Custom out of the blue refused to start right. When I push the starter button you can hear the starter spinning but it does not start. When I tap on the starter with a hammer it kicks...

If the starter does not spin unless you tap it with a plastic hammer then you need new starter brushes. If the starter motor is spinning but the motor is not, then the problem is with the one way clutch that is attached to the fly wheel. The is damage in this case involves two parts the large starter gear and the one way clutch. if the mating surface of the large starter gear is not perfectly smooth then the clutch will not grab it to turn over the motor. Part numbers 2 and 6. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2006-yamaha-xvs11awv/o/m8488#sch531535

Check if you have gas?, see if the fuse is shot, should be on the bottom side of the gas tank, could be just a faulty spark plug, worse case scenario the pulse coil is shot or the stator

Try gently tapping the starter motor with a hammer or bar. There may be a bad contact in the sollenoid or the starter motor brushes worn to their limit. Tapping may give you a tempory fix if the problem lies in the starter motor.
