starter question

["Sioux Harris" <vsharris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 My 95 R1100R has been having a "starting" problem for some time. 
It is NOT the battery- I've replaced it with a new gel one and the problem
still exists. 

Sometimes you push the starter button and there is NOTHING. 
Sometimes you push the starter button and there is clicking. Sometimes you
push the starter button and she starts. 

Lately more "nothings" and clicks" to the point where I panic that I will be
stuck where I am. 

Starter? Relay? Solenoid?
I got the big Clymers manual- that says the starter cannot be serviced, it
needs to be replaced. Is this true?

Thanks on advance
