Probably about 300 miles in the wet, which was all it took, but should be no repeats with it sealed up now. So before anyone drops a pile of cash on a new starter, it is a quick and easy fix to sort out what is there.

Like Subaraurat said, 2 hours and a lot of money saved.
Also, I should mention, you do not need to remove the radiators, just fairings, fan shrouds, and fan. The radiators can be loosened and moved out of the way to get to the starter. The starter access bolts are on the right side of the bike if you are sitting on it. I mistakenly started on the left and got myself some extra practice
