Is it my starter motor??

Hi All
Just fitted a brand new Yuasa battery and still i get the same
click from the solenoid and instrument lights dim to zero..
I talked to a mechanic that told me sometimes when a starter
goes it seizes ..
If thats the case with mine then this would account for the
dimming of lights and voltage drop to 4 volts ??
Can a dodgy starter relay still make a click even when its kaput
?
Is that likely ?
Advice please...

Something is shorting to ground; a seized starter, a broken wire
somewhere or a defective relay. Try to feed 12V directly to the
starter to see if it turns?

Sounds like the starter I think the magnets come free and jam it
up I think a warrior one is cheaper if it's fecked

Can be :
- Starter motor
- fault in the wire harness (short circuit)
- Starter relay
- Battery bolt not tightned
#1: happened to me (and others)
#2 : rare
#3 : I have seen a few faulty relays. So I'd check it
#4 : I guess you tightned everything when you installed the new
battery, so that's not it
If it's the starter motor, take it apart and look inside. Mine
was serviceable. The magnets just got loose, so I reglued all of
them, cleaned everything, replaced the brushes, and reinstalled
the whole thing.
If it's the relay, well ... just replace it ;D

As above- pull the starter and connect 12v on the bench..

Thanks very much to you all for your advice..
I know the oil tank needs removing to get to the starter Motor..
Can I get away with re using the gasket and maybe add a thin
layer of sealant to the gasket faces(Fowlers dont have one in
stock).
Thanks again,
S

If the gasket is not torn when you take it apart, it can be
re-used. A thin film of sealant does not hurt but don't use
silicone as it may result in drops of cured silicone inside the
engine. Remote chance, I know, but why risk it?

It's a regular O-ring. I had no problem re-using it ...

What mileage have bikes got on them before the starter motor
goes? Do all MT-01s suffer from this?
