Check the starter button it may be full of carbon, remove it and clean wth a 400 sandpaper or better replace it.
Hope this helps

Testimonial: "Checked shutoff and starter switch with testor and they are working properly."

SOURCE: coils wont fire,and hit start button and wont turn

Try putting power to the small red on relay, this actuates the solenoid, if power now goes to starter its OK (if not replace). Then check the Start Button contacts are good - check for continuity across it - & all interlocks (neutral / clutch & side-stand switches) work OK. Also check for continuity between the start button & starter relay + from relay to solenoid

SOURCE: the bike will not start. when the key is turned on

Dismantle the switch block on the right bar, make sure nothing has gotten in and blocked the circuit. In the past I have found an insect in there where it's wings blocked the switch. Clean the contacts and it should work.

Wont start the starter is working yet it won crank what can I do

Did you check power an grounds using voltage drop testing , did you check battery voltage an computer control at the starter motor relay in the under hood fuse / relay box ? Instead of guessing you need to learn how to use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter an test ! The powertrain control module controls the starter motor operation ! Starter Voltage Drop VEHICLE RELAYS Operation Diagnosis ,If you pull the relay an jump pin's 30 & 87 the starter should crank ,test the circuit starter motor side ! Pins 85 & 86 are the control side ., Pin 85 or 86 forget which one has battery voltage with the key on . The one with out voltage is control from the engine computer ! Also if the anti theft system is active it wont start !

Car won't start without a jump but battery okay

wont crank or wont start.??
no car starts , if it cant crank. (unless push starter (M/T magic)
that is not a trans sensor its the PRN switch.
ill answer for, wont CRANK !
it wont crank even with a good battery (charged) or jump started.
1: bad start
2: bad wires to same.
so hot wire the starter small wire, the key start line is tiny.
cranks. , starter good, no crank starter bad or cables bad.
if it cranks hot wired, then the key line is dead.
easy, huh?

Truck will not start, battery starter fused links all check out. what next?

Won't crank? What about relays? Can you safely jump across back of starter with screwdriver? (positive to positive jump) Starter should crank while you do this (don't let screwdriver touch positive and negative) like body of starter . Electrical short can burn you or blind you. Don't attempt if unsure.

If starter will crank by jumping then at least you know what you are looking for.

95 jeep cherokee country 6 cyl auto. wont crank all the time

Bad solenoid i would guess. Not making a connection there. Any basic wiring and ignition switch problems should be alleviated by jumping the starter with a screwdriver. I would check the solenoid and starter brushes

New starter new battery still wont start last

Very likely the new battery is defective - it happens. If you have a know good new battery, then also connect a jumper from the battery negative to the block just to be sure its not a defective or loose ground cable.

91 datona wont start

That relay you are talking about is your starter solenoid.  If your car is a manual, put it in neutral with teh ebrake on.  Turn the key to the on position.  Take a screwdriver and jump the 2 bigger posts.  If your starter engages, then your solenoid is shot.  They are pretty cheap and easy to fix.  Keep the Dodge's alive!!  PLease rate!
