I will start by saying this is day one for me on this site, I have already posted this but not sure if it was the correct place.

Just brought a FX 650. yesterday. NON runner.
from my first look the starter seems to be engaged all the time.
Plug out, tried to rotate the engine only to hear the started turning as well.
HELP!!
Richard

Did you turn the engine forwards or backwards?

I of course turned it backwards.
So now I have removed the starter pinion by removing the small upper case left side. Then I saw that it should only bump forwards, so good call.
Starter sounds awful spinning on its own and there is a fair amount of wear on starter spline.
I will now try to test run the bike with the starter isolated and see what I have.
I need a TOW!!!
Thanks
