no start

[James Sherlock]

>>>Okay, my bike had the problem of not starting about a week ago since then I have by passed the kick stand thingy and I cleaned the clutch thingy contacts, but I didn't by pass it.

When I get the dash lights to come on and I push the starter button, I only get a slight snapping around and all of the electric goes off. It doesn't turn over or anything. What else could be wrong? I think that if the clutch switch is bad then I would still have my dash lights, right? Probably I should by pass the clutch switch. I just hate cutting those wires. Help Please! I haven't rode in a week. Brent Bacon
