You might "blip" the throttle just a bit as soon as it starts to kick the bendix out quickly. You also might consider installing a new drive along with a new starter to eliminate a sticky bendix problem. You would be money ahead over buying starters ever so often. What it looks like to me is that it stays engaged and then spins up the armature until centrifical force throws a winding out of it's slot in the armature and then as soon as the copper winding contacts the magnet, it begins to self destruct. And I kind of doubt they will warranty that because you did not install a new starter drive along with that starter.

I went to a local shop and they were saying it shouldnt be from the bendix.
It may be a sticky solenoid giving power too long.. But wouldnt i hear the motor continuing to run?
The starter place said they would replace it. But i am in canada and they are usa.. so its a hassle.
I also bought another one locally cause it was cheap. And a new solenoid.
But now i am sketchy about putting it in.. The bendix is a tough fix. I dont have a puller or impact gun. More things to buy i guess.

 

The Bendix are super easy, just take off the pull rope cover and it will practically fall into your hands.

 

ok thanks for opening my eyes.. i have the manual.. but didnt actually look at it to see how hard it was .. now i have looked and your right.. thanks... looks like i know what i am doing today..

 

Update:

After buying another starter, a generic solenoid, and a bendix. I got them all locally from brighouse auto electric in richmond bc. $50 for starter and bendix, $20 for solenoid. All in stock. Poalris wanted $400 for starter, $200 for bendix and $80 for solenoid i think??
I took the bike apart and found that the bendix was not releasing. So basically the starter was turning as fast as the flywheel was and fried it.

Its very simple, just take the 9 or so 8mm bolts around the recoil housing out, and the bendix will basically come out with a wiggle.

The generic solenoid was very simple install as well, and a third of the price of the polaris one. I cut the wires from the old solenoid so i still had the clip. Wired up the same. Yellow wire was the ignition. Blue was the grounded wire. As the solenoid needed them to be a cetain way.

but everything went easy. Any questions just ask.

Stuck in the engaged position.

The recoil housing removed. You can see where the bendix sits right about the flywheel.
