Dollars to doughnuts you have 2 problems and neither is the starter. Put the battery on a charger and check it with either a hydrometer or load test (both available at your local auto parts chain). While its a chargin' inspect and clean all the electrical connections you can get to (some minor dis-assembly required). As for him riding it down a hill and trying to start it (bump start) this takes the starter completely out of the equation so...it aint the starter keepin' it from runnin. You have some basic trouble shooting to do. Spark, fuel, compression checks. Do the clean-up of your connections first. Bet it takes care of your conundrum.
As to your question. Doubt you'll find a rebuild kit but check your local yellow pages for a shop that rebuilds alternators, starters and the like.
 
1985 kawasaki 454ltd? I just bought the bike a few days ago its in good condition, i even took her for a little spin this morning. I pushed the electric start and It started first try, no problems at all.
I went to start it tonight after work and when i push the start all it get is a clicking sound..
I have a buddy that fixes his own motorcyle. He came with me and checked the battery and just in case tried to boost the bike, still nothing.
We got close when ( cant remember what he called it) but he drove it down a hill and tried to start it while it was in second gear or something like that.
anyway while he was doing that it would start for like a second and then shut off.. He thinks its the starter wich makes sense to me.
He said he'd give me a hand if i got myself a starter rebuild kit. I just need to find out where i would get one that would fit on the Kawasaki 454ltd.
Or maybe someone has something else that could be wrong and could give me some ideas as to how to get it started.
