I use maxbmwmotorcycles.com to check for parts and diagrams!
Thanks!
The problem is if I can fix it with a repair kit or if it needs a new one...!?

You won't be able to tell until you take the start off the bike and pull it apart. What worries me is that it spins and starts the bike cold but not when it's warm. So perhaps the starter has a problem that is intermittent or just when it is warm. This may indicate an imminent failure or it might be because of something else. You should recheck everything including checking the battery and loose or damaged wiring. It is possible that the battery terminal or connects to the starter are loose.
If none of the other checks bring up any problems then I would take the starter off the bike and pull it appart and check for any broken or worn parts. I wouldn't buy a new/refurbished starter until you have checked it or had someone check it for you.
It may be a good idea to get the repair kit if you don't find any obvious problems, as this would be cheaper than a new/refurbished one. Then try it once you've don't the repairs.
Alternatively if you know someone with the same bike and they don't mind, you could swap out their start for yours and see if that helps.
There are a few threads with photos on here about starter issues, here is one where the guy ( 03XT600E) got the repair kit, fixed it and re-installed it. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...nt-start-54065
