Need help guys! Starter issues I think

Hey guys i've been having this wierd problems with my mx lately. Sometime when i go to start it, i get power but the starter doesn't move. But if I wait a few minutes then it does, it's starting to do it more and more and i'm scared i'm gonna get stranded somewhere soon. Does this sound like a failing starter? or is it something else? any help would be good thanks.

Sounds like a failing battery.

lay ur tongue across both terminals see if its charged

hehenah just get a fluke metre that will tell youalternativly if you have a friend just use his battery for a test and see if that fixes it when you start it up.

is there any stores that can check out a battery for me?

I would first check the battery terminals for built up corrosion. clean em up good then try starting. If its the same then test that battery.
If thats good, test the the starter.

do what andy says but also check where the wires are connected to the starter. it sounds like a bad connection
