I have a Yamaha Bear Tracker 250 that has been sitting up for a few years and while trying to start it the starter would only spin. I removed starter and I beleive it is truning backwards. What is the cause and what's the fix?

if you removed or replaced the battery you might have hook up the battery cables backwards, this will cause the starter to turn backwards,  red goes to positive, black negative.

on the yamaha beartracker you cannot hook the battery up backwards without blowing the main fuses.
and or burning up the cdi box.

I have a "90 350 big bear & did rebuild on the starter. I seems to have the same problem! You can't hook up the battery backwards, still seems like the starter is running backwards.

Try taking the starter apart, and clean it real good. This happened to me, and by cleaning it, it started workind properly again.
