starter button problems

bigirn said:

on my older road glide the push button for the starter sometimes failes to engage. I have changed the relay and it still happens sometimes it kicks off then others nothing, its not the starter there is no clicking just nothing happens. could the button its self be bad. I am about to change the bars should I replace the button?



any one ever have this trouble ?



thanks

Could just be the ignition switch. When it happens next time just wiggle the ignition switch a little and see if the starter engages. My ignition switch is getting a little worn out and I need to put on a new one but at times I can turn on the ignition and everything lights up but the starter won't engage so I just wiggle the switch and the starter kicks in. Once the bike starts there isn't a problem with the switch cutting out the engine so that's why I haven't replaced it yet but I should put it on my agenda.
