I would blame worn starter brushes not making proper contact. When you have the starter engaged and give it a turn  with the kick start it is enough movement to  make  the brushes make better contact and spin  the starter.  I  had similar trouble with my '91 Foutrtrax 300FW.  New brushes fixed it .

If the relay clicks then your starter is the problem. You can put new brushes in, or the non genuine starters on eBay are cheap and work well.

I've found that my local NAPA auto parts store has several of the different types ATV starter replacement brushes at very reasonable price but when I know it's the starter I need to check I take it apart and inspect it's internal condition CONDITION so as to see if I need brushes or a replacement starter but you can return brushes to Napa for a refund it the package is not opened.

If its been sitting for a while you might try tapping GENTLY around the starter with a hammer sometimes dust and rust built up in there and nothing makes contact, but chances are it needs replacing.
