There's a clutch on the starter that acts like a Bendix gear on a car. This clutch is stripped out on your bike. You'll need to pull the starter to replace it.

What would cause the starter to engage while riding in a Harley Davidson 1995 Softail custom?

Two things come to mind right off. First a short anywhere in the solenoid wiring. Or the end gear bolt is loose or broken. This requires removing the primary to find out or fix. Eiher way, you need a pro to look at it. Many money problems can arise if it is not fixed.

Two functions of a solenoid fitted to a pre engaged starter motor?

1. To engage the starter with the ring-gear on the engine before the starter is turned on. IE to "pre-engage" it. 2. To turn the starter on once it is Engaged. This prevents/reduces damage to the gear-teeth on both the starter and the ring gear.

Why doesnt starter engage on 1996 Saturn?

What do you mean when you say it doesn't engage? Is the starter spinning but just doesn't catch to spin the engine? IF that's the case it could be as simple as a loose starter or as bad as a damaged flex plate/flywheel. But it would most likely be the starter.
