Default Help in NB Canada

I ride 05 Electric Guide Classic with 75 thousand Km on it. The last few weeks, sometimes when I start it I push my button and nothing is there. After a few dozen tries it will start, but lately it taken longer each time. Checked all wires and connections, beginning to think it may be in the little switch. Has anyone ever had this problem before? I know it may be starter relay or others also, open for all suggestions.

Just posted my fix. I replaced the small relay 4 months ago for same problem started doing it again, so I removed the small relay again, took it apart, cleaned the contacts, bent them a little closer for better contact when the solenoid engages. And now no more intermittent starter.
