Default 2000 RK starter

Bike has been setting for about 6 weeks outside covered up. When I hit the start button it only clicks on the left side panel. Battery is fully charged.
I took the bendix cover off and pushed it in. Bike started. Is it a relay(it does click, switched relays and same thing) or is the bendix bad? The contacts inside the Bendix does show ware.

Pull the solenoid cover off the starter and pull the plunger out. Take a file and clean up the brass contact surface on it.

Thanks for the info. Got it figured out. The switch was shorting out. Had headlight no turn signals on ignition. Had turn signals on acc. side. Cleaned contacts and all is good now.
