What sort of cost is a starter motor?

It started up fine this morning AND after work and now it wont start so yes, it's intermittent. I'm in Leeds m8.

Mr Fro....yes, it clicks once and then nothing....

Thanks Stu Either way, it's gonna be a visit to the garage isn't it....

Sorry, it bump starts. Wouldn't jump off with cables either.

Thanks Stu No the engine doesn't turn at all. It just makes the initial electric startup noise an then nothing? I spoke to a guy at the garage and he seemed to think that if it jumps off, it cant be the starter motor? Does that sound right? I thought maybe it could be the spark plug?

Hi all Hopefully I can get some advice from some of the mechanics on here. I have an XVS950A Midnight star. It's a 2009. I am having issues with it starting at the moment. I know it's not the battery, because I has had a brand new battery, which I fully charged before putting it on and the problem persists. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. Take tonight...got on it at the office, it started straight away.....rode it home (around 3 miles)....pulled onto my drive and turned the engine off. Went to start it again, it wont start?? I swapped the battery and put on the fully charged brand new battery.....still wont start... The engine doesn't turn at all. It just makes the eclectic start up noise and then nothing ? It jumps off straight away? Any ideas ?
