Hi, changed oild yesterday, went to start it up this morning to go for a ride, and as per norm (recently) the battery wasnt doing its best to start it. whilst it was starting up accidently held started moter on, and now the bike is making a wierd sound.

I think the starter motor is stuck, any suggestions of how to fix this???

thanks alot, Iain

As an initial try to free it up put the bike in top gear and push / pull the bike forwards and backwards - worth a try I think.

Have you got anywhere with your troubles?

Just make sure the started button is still half touching, i know my starter button was quiet stiff after some off road and a proper cleaning. Solved it with the usual WD40
