Hi ben,
My starter was doing the same as yours, only working on the second tap of the button since new, almost a year without a starter and i decided to solved this no mather what.
Last night i took everything apart and inspected it very carefully, i discovered that the bendix cover, the hole where the shaft(part 16) that connects to the bendix, that hole is messed up, its not round as it's suposed to be, i also found that the bearing part 18 was also seized, i'm waiting on the parts from motocross center to test it, i'm very confident that this will solved the problem.
I will change the bendix cover and the 2 bearings. Inspect your bendix cover for any wear on both holes.
