starter spins but doesn’t start

I tried to start my son’s 2010 300 sportsman 4×4 but the starter would spin but the quad would not start. I removed the bendix and it didn’t look too bad so I cleaned it up put it back in and tried to start the quad again but no success. Prior to this there has been no issue with starting the quad whether cold or hot. My question is where can I get a new bendix from somewhere other than Polaris. They quoted me 200.00 for this part yet I see other Polaris bendix for less than half. I have contacted a couple companies but they don’t have any or see any listed. Thanks for any help.

Yamaha’s 2017 ATV webpage is up and running

You can see the changes for 2017 here: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/atv

It shows the white base model. It and the blue version are shown with the same machined wheels as the 2016 and 2017 SE and LE. Green and Camo still have black steel wheels. There is no red base model.

The SE is matt silver which I think is similar to the 2015 SE. It looks good in the photos but I saw a silver mat 2015 SE yesterday and it looked cheap to me. The 2017 LE looks like the same metalic red as the 2016 LE.

They say the 2017’s will be available in July.
