    Need Starter Advice

    I have a 78 GS750. The other day my electric starter went out. It just makes a whirring noise. I have a kickstarter and am able to start it that way. Is it the solonoiod or do I need a whole new starter motor and if so is that hard to change. My knowledge is limited. Help!

    Your starter motor sounds ok. Pull it and apply power on the bench to check. The starter clutch could have failed and you'll need to pull the stator cover to check. It's not really an option to live with it and use the kick. They have creative ways of failing and can cause more damage if left un-fixed.
