ELECTRIC STARTOR

the starter is in between the tranny and crankcase on the bottom side. pull your belly pan off and you will see it. i'm not sure if a 250 is the same as a 400 but if it is you have to pull the pull start cover off to get to 2 bolts that hold the starter on. then you have to take off the clutch cover, pull the secondary clutch, take out the three bolts that hold the back clutch cover to the frame then pull the the back clutch cover up and rest it on the tranny ahaft so you can get to the other 2 bolts that hold the starter on. if someone knows an easier way jump in here. by the way do you turn your fuel valve off when your not riding? if not the needle valve seal wears out from the weight of the gas in the tank constantly pushing on it so when the bowl fills up it runs out the drain hose and down on your starter and ruins the rubber seals on the starter and then the gas runs inside the starter. this is what my dealer told me causes almosr every bad starter he replaces.

If you have the right tools you sometimes don't have to pull the clutch or the clutch cover off. You can use a off set 10mm wrench to get to the top bolts of the bracket.
Some have more room between the bracket and the cover and some are just so tight you muct pull the cover.
I can useally remove the starter on the 250's about 95% of the time without removing the cover.

you don't have to but some people say it's not good for the seal around the primary clutch to pull the back cover up and rest it on the input shaft. thats how i did it and i haven't had a problem. hey cornbread2 how do you get the harder bolt started when you put it back in?
