Roger, I just checked with the shop that worked on it last time this happened, which was only about 2k miles ago. They replaced the carbon brush set and brush holder plate in the starter motor. I'm not sure if they replaced the armature or not. The problem went away completely, but has now resurfaced after a year or so of the bike sitting without being started.

It probably isn't kill switch or general wiring related since I can get the problem to occur or go away just by rotating the rear wheel while in gear. It seems to be isolated to the starter motor again even though it was rebuilt previously. Just wondering why it might reoccur unless there is another part in the starter that might be causing the problem.
