If the soleniod engages and no starter motor run.....the solenoid is bad or bad starter motor brushes.....do not rap on the starter ......the permanent magnets are subject too damage ......replace the starter ..........
Turn over is the process that an engine makes when it is trying to start. If you twist the key and get nothing then it wont turn over. Google shimming a starter and watch the vids.
check that the pinion of the starter is engaging the flywheel teeth
check that the over run clutch of the pinion is engaging and not over running when it is supposed to lock up to turn the flywheel
Disconnect the battery and then carefully remove the starter. Take the unit to a local auto parts dealer for a bench test. Starters have two separate functions, one spins the shaft to crank the engine, the other is called a bendix, which pushes the starter gear out to engage the flywheel, and then after the engine engages, retracts it (except in the case of starter/generator combo units which recharge your battery and power your vehicle's electricals while the engine is running) Always best to get a bench test rather than depending on apparent symptoms.
Try taking a look at the starter and flywheel while attempting to start the engine. Does the small gear at the end of the starter move forward and engage the flywheel when you try to start the engine? Could it be stuck? The small gear must move forward to engage the flywheel. Keep your fingers away from the moving parts.
Verify all cables are tight and not grounding out due to broken casing.
Check the relay to the starter, it could be failing. Check that the starter is in good working order by passing current directly through it while its removed from the bike. Put a voltometer on the battery and check that its at full capacity ( volts and amps )
Make sure you have a secure ground to the starter and the battery.
Check the start button for continuity.
Try shorting across tha 2 large terminals on the solinoid and note if the starter motor runs, if so maybe you can open and clean the starter solinoid or else if it is press sealed you need to change it. If the starter motor does not run when shorted change the motor. Be carefull sparks will fly!
