Reckon it'll be an expensive fix?
Guessing purely time to dismantle the bloody thing.It is a 2015 with 23k on the clock, I've only had it a few months, annoyingly.
DethBeard-
I remembered you getting it but thought it was younger than that. I would guess that dismantling it will be a pain. Even the R80 was a couple of hours to get to the starter but I was lucky not to have to replace it.
Last time I heard about someone getting one changed it was on an ER6 and they paid around £700 in all.

How was the starter motor diagnosed?
The usual check is to short the starter solenoid to see it the problem is the starter or the solenoid or something else.
What bike is it, I can't remember.
Airhead

It does seem most likely the starter. Disappointing on a bike that age. I had a similar problem on the R80, turned out to be the earth strap.
