My bike is actually suffering the same problem. Press the starter switch and on some occasions it just makes a tapping sound (like something knocking on the plastic). The usual process then is knock it in gear rock it back and forward with the clutch open, pull the clutch in and retry the starter. Is it likely I need to replace the starter brushes? If so how would I know if they were too worn (if I looked at them).
