Default Starter kicks out

2 or 3 years ago I installed a new higher output starter in my heritage and last year at sturgis it started kicking out(starter winds but gear not engaged) once in a while and has slowly gotten a little worse.Has anyone had this problem?Is there a replacement spring,mayby stiffer or should I replace the starter?what do ya think,Thanks kopp

That's all it is, about a $100 part, ( last time I looked,) and yes it will wear and get worse.
