Sounds like the flywheel needs turning slightly to help the starter engage.
Make sure your battery is charged - low and it may not have enough power to fling the bendix correctly
Failing that it may be the S/M needs cleaning or re-checking

battery is new.
will try and move the flywheel round a bit and see.
was thinking of investing in a recondition one from moto works

from probs i've had in the past, i reckon the starter is probably engaging, but the clutch (just behind the pinion) is slipping. it used to be a replaceable part but i hav'nt done one for years

i will try tonight and see about moving the flywheel round a bit and seeing if that would help.
the clutch has allways been stuff on the bike since i got it 5years ago.

That sounds like a good plan they are fairly simple but too complex for me to try to explain on the internet if you do need any parts they share virtually all components with a valeo D6RA. you should be able to get one from any car scrap yard for £20 or less. The only part they dont share is the nose casting. The D6RA starter is found on many small engined Citroens, Renaults, vauxhals and Peugeots if you do a search in this section you will find a couple of threads that have a better list of cars with suitable donors If you get really desperate you could send me all the bits and I will fix it and post it back to you (should only cost postage)
