He told me that there are almost never anything wrong with the starter on Kawasaki motorcycles so it had to be something wrong with the battery. I changed to a new YUASA YTX12-BS battery and the engine fired up just fine! You should have seen the smile on my face hearing the engine starting :)

There’s a set of tools under the seat, you’ll need a standard screwdriver.

Remove the old battery (negative/minus side removed first) then insert the new battery (positive/plus side connected first).
