Hi from new member! k75 question

[Ben_D]

Hi I`m a new member !
was just wondering
if anyone can help with with my k75,
I bought a 1991 k75 rt (ex uk policebike) as a winter bike
and with dreams of touring in the summer. It had been unused for two years
before I bought it but from day one it drove perfectly for me. I had all the
usual consumables replaced. Air/oil/fuel filters ,spark plugs etc
and all was well. But after a few months driving I had a problem.
Out of the blue a red hazzard light started flashing on the panel , during
exceleration and braking shortly later followed by a faulty break light.
I took a look at the bulbs on the rear light ,seemed fine.Started the engine
teasted the brakes all seems fine. Put everything back together
left it for another day. Only problem is that now it wont start.
I have used a charger on the battery seems fine.Lights come on
and horn works , all spark plugs spark! but still it wont start.
I think it might be the starter motor.
I`m not a mechanic and have limited experience , thought maybe
someone on this list might be able to help.

Took starter motor out had a look inside cleaned it up a bit but
unsure how to test my theory>

any Help would be great before I tear my hair out!

Starter motor brushes can get dirty - plays havoc with the electrics as they are used to sense when the starter motor is on "
