This is pretty elementary, but if you have had to do it on a 2-wheeler....works on a trike too, if you have enough bodies around you to push.
If the starter is trying to engage, just take the small plug-on connector off the solenoid. That lead is what pulls-in the solenoid and if you un-plug it....it takes that out of the loop.
But, for ANY starter issue, turn the bike kill-switch to "run", the ignition to "on" put the trike in like 3rd. gear, clutch it....have somebody push you and pop the clutch. If the battery is alive....it will start. If you are in a real bind out there in the boon-docks..you may have to resort to having somebody in a car give you a push.....or wait half-a-day for a wrecker.
Or....simply remove the solenoid cover and push the plunger with your finger. This is for the more experienced wrench that will remove the plunger and keep it handy. It will just pull out of the center of the solenoid. Stick it in your pocket (or make your wife hold it) until you get back to civilization.
