I know there are tons of starter/Bendix threads, I think I have read most of them but haven't seen this issue. First off, bike always starts first stab even when cold, I have accidentally started it many times just hooking up tie downs!

Recently the starter started just spinning and wasn't grabbing, I took everything apart and cleaned/lubed it and it worked perfect for a few rides. Now all of a sudden the Bendix just doesn't grab again even when you twist it in your hand. I have checked and the shaft isn't spinning in the housing and the pinion gear is solid on the shaft.

Any ideas? Just replace it? Does that Honda one work or is that just for the older bikes?

Thanks
