The clutch interlock switch wiring usually runs into the headlight housing, so check for jumpered wires or loose ones too.

It there a wire from the clutch lever? If so trace it down.

If you find a swithc for the clutch safety switch the little prong must be sticking out.

Some times they are removed and the prong taped up and the wires taped to the frame.

This is the first item i remove on a bike. I remove the switch and wire and put a jumper wire in the two connectors.

Follow all the wires on the starter switch.

Trace the wires on your wiring diaghram and touch each component.

You do have a trouble light to check for fire?

My spring inside of the button was messed up and sometimes it would not let contact be made. It was frustrating and took a test light to get it figured out what was going on.
