The Valeo Starter TuneUp Kit + looks like a great way to go assuming the expensive bits are still good and you don't have a bad solenoid, armature, starter drive or magnet housing... the obvious catch is (best case) you aren't going to know for certain until you have the starter out and disassembled. And after you change out those parts you won't know for certain if you fixed the real problem until you put it back in your bike and try it... and if it works then the question will be which of the parts you didn't replace will fail... more importantly when and where that failure occurs. (It probably won't be in your garage)

IMHO the shortest, least aggravating path is to just buy a new one... see page 2 of the link independent provided.. $189 for a new Valeo OE unit.
