What causes a car starter to not disengage?
Check your ignition switch. You want to make sure that the power does not stay on once your ignition switch is released. This continuous power to the starter can cause it not to disengage. To make sure it’s not the solenoid; check the power on the posts behind the solenoid by testing the wire coming from the ignition switch, using a voltmeter.
What to do if your starter motor stops?
Sometimes one can temporarily ‘fix’ the problem by having the bike in gear and trying to move the engine counter to normal rotation direction by moving the bike backwards a small amount. It is possible for a combined problem, with the starter motor having a slightly dead spot it stopped at the last time you used it.

Why is my electric meter on my BMW airhead not working?
However, if the place the meter is connected-to is in an area with irregular voltage drops, such as from poor connections, it is not the meter that has failed. Identical-looking meters are used in some older BMW cars …those meters are not damped internally the way the motorcycle meters are, and can swing wildly.
Why is MY BMW airhead motorcycle not starting?
The voltage should not drop under 9 volts (preferably 10+); the engine of course will not start. Immediately move the positive lead of the voltmeter to the starter terminal; since this would require another hand, either have a buddy there helping you; or, re-do the procedure, again with 2 seconds ON.
