...starter spins fine but it will not turn? it will not turn over. When this happens, i leave the bike for a few hours, come back and it starts right up no problem..Also when i try first thing in the morning or late evening to start it, it spins, lets out a quick sputter or cough, but than after that it will only spin and spin, it refuses to turn over. Please help! Why does it seemingly randomly refuse to turn over??
 
The Parkinson (one way) clutch in the starter is on it's last legs.You will have to replace the drive or the starter.You can get a good used starter from a salvage yard cheaper than you can get a starter drive for new.
