R1 starter spinning not starting (Solved)

Solved/Update:


I made the video to warn others. Here is what happened.

When bike did not start initially, I took the bike apart and found that One of the two long starter bolt was completely unscrewed from its housing. So It would spin but no start.

I put the starter together without aligning the marks. And still run into same issue where, it spin but did not start the bike. I got pissed and ordered new starter.

Finally again took the bike apart, put the new starter in, and discovered that marks on old starter were not aligned up. Hence, giving me no start condition.

I ended up installing new starter since I had it on me but, all my old original starter needed was proper assembly keeping alignment marks in mind.

Hardest part of the job is, removing and installing throttle body hose to its assembly.
