Starting issue
1990 Heritage
Hey guys got a quirky issue going on. Sometimes, when I hit the starter button, nothing happens. No click, no engage, nothing. But when I sit on the bike magically the starter fires up when I hit the button. Obviously I have a loose wire but I thought the starter button wire goes from the hand control to the starter relay which isn't directly under the seat. Anyone have an idea where to start.

I'd go one step further and remove the cables and clean the terminals with a small wire brush and apply dielectric grease then re-tighten everything. JMHO
