Hello,

I've been having problems with my electric starter on my 77 kz650. Whenever I try, something starts grinding. Its not a continuous grind as sometimes it will sound normal for a second or two but then its like the starter slips and it starts grinding again. Not sure if its the starter, the solenoid, or the starter clutch. I've attached a video to give anyone a clearer picture.

Sounds like a bad starter clutch.
