Changed my fork oil last week and she started fine when I pulled her into the garage. Put everything back together, hopped on for a test ride, hit the starter switch... nothing, doesn't even turn over. Display/lights are all working fine. First thought was the battery had just enough juice to start the first time, so I put it on a trickle charger overnight. Showed as fully charged the next morning. Still nothing. Had a load test done on the battery and it came back showing the battery is fine.
Thought maybe in taking the handlebars off I'd inadvertently knocked a connection loose somewhere but I haven't found anything. Took the switch apart and all connections LOOK to be good, although I don't have anything to test them.
I have noticed on a couple of occasions in the past when I went to start the bike that nothing happened when initially depressing the starter switch, but I'd hit it one or two more times and she fired right up. That was a couple of months ago, it only happened 2 or 3 times, and I haven't had an issue since so it kind of slipped my mind until now. So I'm still leaning towards a loose or broken connection somewhere but I'm not sure. Electronics aren't my forte.
Any suggestions on what I should be checking?
