Okay, this is an ST2 problem, but all of the parts involved are exactly the same as on the Monster.
I noticed when I picked up my bike from being serviced that the starter button would stay in when I pushed it so that I had to wiggle it to get it to come back out. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this the last time I started it, right before riding about 30 miles. So it ran just fine and I parked it in my garage. Four days later (today), when I wanted to ride it again, the starter button was still in all the way. I corrected the situation, but now when I push the starter button I get nothing at all. I can tell the difference between stop and run on the other switch, and all other electrical components seem good. I've checked all of the fuses, and I've had the battery on a battery tender.
So, I'm guessing that maybe some of you have been through this and can tell me what you had to fix to get the bike running again. Any ideas before I tear it all apart and go through the wiring from top to bottom?
Candidates for being bad are the switch, the starter relay, or the solenoid. Anything else I should consider?
