spot on caine, when the starter spins there are 3 small discs which grip and these easily jam. a very easy fix to dismantle and repair

Hi Caine
No got bike with this fault,Is this a DIY job or should i take it to get repaired. Any idea what the cost would be

sounds like the starter motor one way clutch is shot.this mechanisim is designed to engage and drive crank and freewheel when engine starts.never worked on yours before,but many starter clutchs's are rebuildable.
