Way simple job. Easier off the bike, but you should be able to also do it on the bike if you don't have a belt or lines in the way -- your mileage may vary.
OK - first get the starter
The important bit is the three screws on the solenoid. Remove them, but remember there is a spring pushing a shaft in there -- not hard, but remember it.
Here it all is disassembled.
Then it's just clean the contacts on the shaft (copper circle bit) and the EM body (2). and reassemble! Use an emery board or some fine sandpaper -- I use 200 grit. And remember to blow out with some air.
Easy job, give it a shot sometime. Anything that cleans up the electrical connection for the starter is one less problem down the road.
