Starters clutches wear out slowly. You probably heard it whir before it caught‎. There are three small springs in there that you need to replace.

The idea that it might be my starter is puzzling to me (like many things at this point).

Just to back up for a second to make sure I didn't send us down the wrong track.  

The "whir" I described is the same sound the electric starter button always made before the engine fired.  The difference lately is that the bike never fired up and the sound pretty quickly got dim as if there was not enough battery to power it (though my battery is fine).  Could that be related, as you say, to something mechanical, like the starter, being stuck?  To my laymen mind the symptoms seem more electrical than mechanical.  If it was electrical, where might you test first given the symptoms I described? Bad switch? Sorry to keep playing this one out but any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
