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.
I replaced my bendix cover with the billet AS-3 bendix cover which is a much higher quality cover then stock and that seemed to make starting easier for my XC.

Hi eralha, Yeah, I'll inspect everything while I've got it apart, and use the dremel where I need to. I pulled the circlip out, and had a quick attempt at getting one of the bearings out, but it's in there pretty tight; I might have another go on the weekend.
Does that shaft(part 16) just pull out, or do I need to get the bearing(part 21) out first?
(I'm worried about breaking something if I apply too much force when I'm not s'posed to be, and would rather not have to order new parts!)

Hi you need to take out the bearing(21) and then with the engine cover off the bike i put the tip of the shaft(16) on a vice, and with a rubber hammer i hit the engine cover so it could came out, do it gently to not damage the cover. the shaft(16) is screwed to bearing(18).

Inspect the cover(13) the hole where shaft(16) enter to see if there is any wear.

Heat is your friend. Hot air gun even a hair dryer will make the cover expand quicker than the bearing.

Just got this bike and I'm in exactly the same situation.

Any tips for removing bearing (21)? Did you use pullers with the gear still inside? Thanks

I took mine out this way:

Took out the starter and removed the lock nut on the bearing. Put the starter back again and hit the starter button just half a second, the force the starter does is enough to make it come loose. I know this isn't the best way but it worked for me.

Thanks
