Raptor not turning over???? Help
you want to try the least expensive route first,,,try putting the battery on a trickle charge first
if it still wont start,then remove the starter,,,and with a set of jumper cables,and a good 12v battery attach the cables to their prospective leads
if the starter enguages,then you eliminated your starter as a problem
next try the same thing with your now recharged bike battery,,,,if the starter enguages again,,,,then its your selinoid,,,if it doesnt enguage,,,its a bad battery

did you try tapping the starter with a wooden handle on a hammer while trying to start it?
if it feels like its spinning,it may just not be engaging
the way a starter works is when you hit your start button,it creates a path of current to the relay,,,which inturn sends a shot of current to the selinoid,,,the selinoid converts electrical energy to mechanical energy by creating a magnetic field, which actuates the bendix in the starter to engage the flywheel,barring the engine over,,,,,if the bendix is stuck,its basically just spinning in the starter housing,and not engaging the fly wheel,,,hense not starting your bike
if tapping the starter releases the bendix,then you will have to pull the starter off,break it down,and clean it out
usually when this happens,its caused by the residue from the carbon brush's,which means they may also need replaced
