    May not be the starter…..
    1. If your battery isn’t good and packing a punch, the starter gear can possibly not spin fast enough the keep the dogs thrown out

    2. If the starter gear in the case is worn, you’re looking at pulling the engine to get in there to replace parts.

    Oof yeah might not be the starter like @hogfiddles suggests. Does it sound like a bunch of rocks rolling around in a coffee can? Unfortunately its a big job to repair, engine removal and splitting the engine cases apart.

    Well, in fairness to the bike,
    -if you want a kickstart bike, go get a kickstart bike.
    -Many replies were made on where to get a starter, didn’t seem like you were taking them up.
    -Typically, a rebuild kit will solve the issue. If not, typical a readily available replacement will solve the issue. If not, typically, opening the engine a replacing the starter gear inside solves the issue. If not, typically you did wrong.
    -Typically, these bikes are generally bullet-proof if they’re given reasonable preventative maintenance.it’s a rare instance to find an XJ lemon. MAYBE you got one, though I doubt it.

    now a few questions:
    what starter did you get?
    Where did you get it from?
    What starter gear assembly did you get, and where did you get it from?
    What manual did you follow to install it?
