Occasional Starting Problems - Any advice welcomed

[bikemad62]

You may Want to Consider the Brushes in your starter motor being worn. Im assuming the starter motor is an original fitted by yamaha. The repair is easy to do if your up for it. you could just get another motor from a breakers or Ebay. A call to your nearest trusted dealer for prices of the brushes should be a consideration in case getting a second hand motor is cheaper than the brushes. just changing the starter motor is three bolts, two hold the motor in place the third is the high ampage wire from the starter solenoid. Tap out the starter motor with a piece of 2x1 and a mallet. If you're an experienced diy mechanic changing will take about 20 mins. If not take lots and lots or pictures as you take it apart.and take your time. Hope this helps.
