i worked for a large yamaha dealer. yes, those bikes are very well known for the starter clutch going out. it's about $85 to $125 in parts and about 1 to 1.5 hours labor. also, an oil filter relocator kit will save you money on servicing or changing your own oil.

The starter button is used in an open circuit design.
You must press the starter button to "Close" this circuit before the starter will engage. Taking the starter button out of the loop helps support the suspect short. Assuming you kept the starter button wires from touching. :) If not, it is most likely the starter button.
Trace the wires coming from the starter button.
There could be a short circuit. (Same as pushing the starter button). Check along the handle bars and anywhere rubbing could cause a break in the insulation. Try this at night with the lights off.
You may be able to SEE the spark and locate it quickly.
Good luck!
SOURCE: Starter is just spinning and not engaging
Assuming that no gears are broken in your flywheel, which is not likelly, I would say that you either have a bad solenoid, or not enough current going to the solenoid.
Make sure your battery terminals are clean and making good contact. Make sure the cables on your starter are tight and clean. If the solenoid is bad, or not getting enough current, it will not have the strength enough to push the Bendix out so that it engages.
SOURCE: installed a new starter and it will not turn over
did it do the same thing before? if so there are probably teeth broken off the flyweel, remove the starter and look at this. if not the new starter is probably bad,but make sure it is mounted squarly and flush to its mounting surface.

The one way clutch that engages the starter motor to the flywheel is chattered or damaged and needs to be replaced. The starter motor turns a small gear that is connected to a large gear by a small chain. On the side of the big gear is a smooth machined surface that the one way clutch grabs when the starter is engaged. The surface is chattered and the three grabber rollers wont jam or grab on the surface unless it is smooth therefore the starter spins but the motor does not. You will probably have to replace the large gear and possibly the three rollers also.
