Posted November 10, 201014 yr Ok, have an 1981 XS400 special II, new battery, new plugs...starter motor won't turn much. When I kick it, it'll roll normally, but the electric start makes a razzing noise, even when jumped with a pack. Held the kick out and hit the start button, it moves about an inch and stops. Time for a new starter?? Or are they fairly easy to rebuild for a novice? Or should I have the starter professionally rebuilt??
