1 Bike Won't Start! :( Mon Jan 25, 2016 9:12 am

Last week the bike started after winter almost immediately. It started quicker than my car.
This morning, I wheeled it out of the yard, clutch in, hit the start button and all I hear was a faint click. I tried again, nothing. Keys out, keys in and once again a faint click. I figured there was an electrical issue. So I wheeled it back into my yard, tried again just for the sake of chance, and she started. Strange. I then let the throttle off before its warmed up fully and obviously she shut off and went back to the previous state.
Now, since checking the battery voltage (11.5), all I'm getting is the following:
About half a second of starter motor, then a few seconds of fuel pump and relays etc.
This cycle continues for as long as i hold the start button. It's as if the starter motor is only engaging for a split second and not turning the engine over enough to fire.
Is it the starter motor that's had it, or do I need to check elsewhere?
All I've got in terms of diagnostics are my hands and a multimeter. I've read elsewhere about checking fuel pressures etc but I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
Thanks in advance!
