It sounds like you are getting some power from the battery, but not enough. Check the earth terminal by grounding the battery negative to the frame (the tank bolt will do) and hit the starter. I had this problem. You also say the battery is ok – how do you know? Try swapping with another to see if the problem persists.

Perhaps you bumped/ jarred the STARTER SWITCH which occasionally get's stuck in a bit, and produces the symptoms you're talking about.

Take it apart, clean it, lube it -even if this is not the cause, it's a good proactive thing to do anyway.
