    take the assembly apart to start and give it all a good clean inside,probably find a few spiders in there! clean all the contacts well on the starter button and the kill switch.
    make sure the spring behind the starter button is in good shape and not broken or corroded

      Also

      Check the clutch interlock also if it has not been bypassed.

        To bypass the clutch switch, just follow them down into the headlight bucket and unplug the switch. Then plug the 2 ends from the wiring harness into each other and remove the switch from under the clutch perch.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Starter button?

          Or ignition swtich?

          WHile playing with it, maybe you are also playing with the clutch lever switch and it is the clutch lever swiitch that is what is causing the problem.
