There is not much to a starter ... brushes, bearings, and some method to engage the teeth either a "bendix" or a electro magnet. There is that possibility that there is a short in one of the windings. Since yo are mechanicaly inclined, you know how to check the windings with a volt/ohm meter. Will it run outside the bike? If not, after checking it, consider replacement..There is not much to a starter ... brushes, bearings, and some method to engage the teeth either a "bendix" or a electro magnet.
