I just replaced the handlebar on my 04 GS 500f, but now I can't get the starter to work. Absolutely NOTHING happens when I hit the starter button. And yes, I made sure the kill switch was not on "off", that the kickstand was up, and that the clutch was depressed.
I opened the casing and checked to see if the contacts were obstructed, but they didn't seem to be. All the other electrical functions seem to be working. I can't figure it out.
Any suggestions?
check the clutch switch

Thanks so much! Not only was the clutch switch disconnected, but when it still wouldn't start after reconnecting, I figured out that the clutch was reattached in a way as to prevent it from being depressed far enough to engage the clutch switch. I just rolled it a bit forward, and it provided the 1mm of additional clearance it needed.
Thanks a bunch!
