Hi,
Sounds like the solenoid relay is stuck up and shorted your starter!
Better check the starter, pull it down and look if the bendix drive is still intact, upon driving and engine is running the bendix drive is still engage, thus it might have broken and loosen up.
If you can't repair it, a mechanic can certainly repair it, hope that bendix drive is still okay, if damage is already done, just replace that part.
The solenoid that gives power and pushes the bendix drive is at fault, better check that too, it is the first one that malfunctioned and damages the bendix.
Hope that helps you out!
thanks for using FixYa!
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the primary case. Remove the primary cover and take the bolt out of the jackshaft and remove it. There is a coupling between the starter motor and the jackshaft. It should not come out with the jackshaft but when you take the starter out, it will come out with it. Remember, the counterbored end goes towards the jackshaft. Put the coupling on the starter before installing it on the bike. On the right side of the bike, you'll probably have to remove some or all of the exhaust system. Take anything else off that may be in your way. Take the battery cable and the single wire that goes to the solenoid off of the starter and remove the two large socket head bolts that holds the starter on.
The starter clutch is an integral part of the starter assembly itself. You must remove the starter and disassemble it to get the "overrunning clutch" out. First take the starter off the bike. Then, remove the two long bolts and take the starter motor off of the drive housing. Then remove the bolts that hold the drive housing together. The overrunning clutch will come out of the drive housing. You will probably have to take the bearings off the original clutch and reinstall them on the new part. Reassemble the starter and reinstall it on the bike.
