I would also be wary of continually pressing the starter button. Make sure you give it a rest between tries and only give it a few seconds burst. Good luck!

Burnt up starter is no Buena

Starters create a lot of heat and need a cooling off period. Alantf can give a good description of what happens when he shows up. All I know is they can fry themselves easily with a long start effort.

OH YEAH! be careful with the starter. Make a list of things to check and mark them off as you do them. Remember you need to start with the simple stuff first. here is a simple you tube video to give you some idea.... . it is not the same bike but it gives you a good idea how to start your diagnosis. Good Luck.

Good one. Nothing like a hands on tutorial. That bike was a very old Honda with chromed metal fenders.
