Udpate...next week March 26 the dealer is going to replace my ignition switch... I haven't had many non starts duringthe last several month, but it happend to day.

I turned the key to the on position and no nothing, I waited a few second and wiggled my handle bars and she energized, I hit the start button and away I went.



Here is my guess...

The dealer whom I purchased the bike from did the antenna replacement in that process they kinked, clipped, did not fasten securly all of the ignition wires, or damaged the ignition switch when they change the anntenna. will update on the 26th

Good guess IMHO - the same has happened to some other people - the wiring to the switch wasn't routed and fastened correctly.
