Default ltz400 starter spins free doesnt catch
04 dvx400 the starter stopped working, now it just spins free, and doesn't catch/engage. the starter clutch or the starter/idle gear?

More than likely it's the starter clutch...That's what usually fails.

Hopefully that will fix it...and an idler is a lot less $$$ than a starter clutch.....
