My 17 yr old daughter has an 08 Raptor 250. Last season (Sand Season) towards the end we noticed that it started turning over slower and slower. Till one point it would stop turning over like the battery was dead. I replaced the battery as it was 5 years old. Made sure the new one was fully charged and it still happens. I am guessing that the starter is toast . Just looking for anyone who may have had this same issue and can confirm that this is probably it?

Thanks in advance.

Here she is ripping Dumont.

Coming from someone who does not have a raptor 250 I would look at all major power and ground connections between battery/starter/chassis and make sure they are clean, as in clean them with a wire brush or hit with a little sandpaper. If that model has some sort of automatic decompression mechanism for startup (I have no idea if it does), I'd also look there to make sure it's functioning as expected.
