G,
Are you sure its the starter motor? There is an issue with Sprints
involving a wire breaking in the wiring harness (I believe it runs to
the clutch switch) that prevents the bike from starting. I had this
happen on my 03 ST this summer, however it was intermittent. So you may
want to check this out before you dig into the starter. I'm sure
there's more info in the archives as well. My bike was still under
warranty when it happened, so I let the dealer fix it. Otherwise I'd be
able to give you more detailed instructions on how to test it.
HTH,
Dan
