Bike jumps but starter switch is not working, any ideas

[phillpal]

Hi there, i was riding my bike and after trying to leave on it i tried to start but the switch wouldnt work, so I jumped it and it started fine.

Any ideas????

The bikes an Aprilia rs 125 by the way - 10 points for everyone who tells me that these bikes tend to have reliability issues!!!!

Where were you when i bought it haha

Is the starter making any noise? If so is the battery charged?

well the bike was in the workshop for the clutch, i picked it up it started perfect, then a couple of other times it started perfect as well.

then all of a sudden the switch wouldnt even work, it doesnt even get the starter motor going.

I would have thought it was the battery but the headlights and everything work fine???

is there a fuse to the starter switch?

please i really need some advice

You havnt explained enough
when you hit the starter button
does it make a clicking noise?

if it makes not even a clicking noise id say check battery with multimeter or your starter is broken, if the fuse was gone you'd have no electrics?

it doesnt make any noise when i press the starter button, the bike starts when i roll it and drop it into first.

fuse has gone where your starter solonoid is.
