For the last few cold mornings I've been running in to a problem with my starter. It will turn over the engine okay usually but once the engine's started it sounds like the starter isn't disengaging for a few seconds after the engine has started.

Yesterday I got the bike started (hadn't been run in a while) and stalled it, When I tried to re-start it I found the starter would engage but after a couple of turns it sounded like the starter disengaged. Eventually it got going and all was well.

I don't get this problem when the bike's warmed up a bit.

Guessing it's the starter, how easy is it to remove? I'm guessing that the engagement cog needs greasing or something.
 
Nuts, didn't find that one with the search function, must have been using the wrong words.

Sounds exactly like my problem so I'll give it a go.
