Default Yamaha Breeze Starter vs Starter Clutch

1999 Yamaha Breeze Starter vs Starter Clutch.
I just bought my daughter a 99 Breeze. It starts and runs great. However, sometimes, when it is turned off and she tries to restart, the starter will spin but not engage. If I tap the starter with a hammer, it seems to engage. One person told the bendix may be sticking. Another person told me there is no bendix because the starter is always engaged. So I am confused. I do not know if it needs a new starter or starter clutch. If it works when I tap the starter with a hammer, I tend to think it is the starter. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
I am a novice mechanic. So, if it is the starter clutch, is this difficult to change?
THANKS

Welcome! The second guy you talked to is correct there is NO Bendix tho I still think you just need a starter as the brushes are prob shot. Follow the link below for pricing/part info. Good luck let us know what you find.
