As above, removing the starter motor is not too bad. Just 3 retaining bolts, problem is that 2 of them are inside the casing so you need the cover off - drain the oil first (unless you lean the bike on it's RH side) and remove the side case, extractor required but you can make one quite easily and you'll want either a new gasket or some threebond to reseal it.

Worth checking the alternator/flywheel nut torque whilst you're in there as some have been known to come loose but, again you'll need a tool to hold it.
