Please check the fuses first before jumping into relays. It would be highly unlikely for a relay to fail before a fuse did because of a short. When checking the fuses, do NOT trust your eyes, use a test light or multi meter to check for volage on both legs or continuity through the fuse. If you had a short, it should have blown the fuse.

Remove the key cylinder on my 2001 Yamah VStar Motorcycle The keys were lost in our house fire.

You should be able to take the title or proof of ownership to your local Yamaha dealership and they will cut new keys for you. Why go through the hassle of removing the cylinder?

2002 Yamaha Vstar 1100 Custom. STARTER Problem

The starter button is used in an open circuit design.
You must press the starter button to "Close" this circuit before the starter will engage. Taking the starter button out of the loop helps support the suspect short. Assuming you kept the starter button wires from touching. :) If not, it is most likely the starter button.

Trace the wires coming from the starter button.
There could be a short circuit. (Same as pushing the starter button). Check along the handle bars and anywhere rubbing could cause a break in the insulation. Try this at night with the lights off.
You may be able to SEE the spark and locate it quickly.

Good luck!
