Another Starting Problem

Sorry but Im new with street bikes, just familar with cars and dirtbikes. I just bought an 03 s4 yesterday and while riding it up a hill today the bike just shut off. I naturally pull off to the side of the road but then the bike wont start bike up. The starter just spins and spins and doesnt hook. The battery is fine, etc. THe check engine light came on as the bike shut down. I let the bike then cool down and try it again but nothing, just a spinning starter. So then i got agrevated and tried to pop start it. Now I can puch the bike while in first gear, Any suggestions?

Sounds like a bad starter. If so, it is the first starter failure I have heard of.

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

A bad starter shouldnt make the bike cut out though, right?
