sticking starter

[Boom Boom]

2011 GG 300 with e-start.
I had the starter working perfect and then I go to start it and I hear the starter not release. Shut it down and go to kick start and still spinning the starter. Tear it apart and everything looks fine and moves free. I put it back together and use the kicker and it locks the starter in again. So to save the riding day off with the internals of the starter for the day.
Anyone have the same problem and any idea how to fix or did they come with a starter that is the same quality as the POS cluster switch.
This bike has less than 5 hours on it.
Love the bike, electrical components are not impressing me at the moment.

Stories like this are making me nervous, but so far, my E-starter has been flawless after 10 hours.

The bike was dropped on the starter side the day before it acted up however it worked perfect the remainder of that day. The next morning I roll is out and hit the button and no release. Pulled it apart and everything moved freely so I bolted it back up thinking it might have been binded. Nope, stuck again.
Just looking for someone to post up a fix they might have.

There is a thread about 2 weeks ago someone was having the same issue for no apparent reason. Seems that person used 2 or 3 gaskets to shim the starter out a little. Here's the thread.
