Hi, I have a 1999 yamaha 1200xl that won't start. When I hit the ignition the starter just spins and doesn't ingage anything. I'm thinking the starter needs to be replaced? If it in fact does need replaced, how is the best way to go about it. I have read that the exhaust needs to be removed to get to it? It this correct? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm having a hard time locating the starter.
