This is the first time I took a hammering action to a piece of machinery with success.
Congratulation to your sucessfull action, although the usual procedure is:
1) Shout on the bike
2) Call it names
3) Kick it
4) Calm down and praise it to get it into better mood
5) Use special tool No.1 (hammer)
My fathers old VW had the same issue, we ended up opening the hood and hammering the starter quite often - until the day we forgot to put out 1st gear
- we jumped away and the starter shifted the car into the rear end of the car parking in front of us... well, well.....
It´s only the starter magneto getting stuck - if you have warranty it´s winter work for the dealer.
