Hello Stuart!
I had the same problem on my 1150 adv about 40.000 km ago! After I took it apart and re greased the shaft it has been fine. The starter motor made some noise a couple of days some months down the track after greasing, but I fixed that by threatening it with replacement!! A new one from mr bmw was 1000 aud plus freight out in the bush where I was, so that was not an option!
Cheers Tom
