Hi, I'm a newbie, first time on here, just bought my bike a week ago. 1996 savage. Ran fine when I got it but now it gets power but won"t start. Ignition switch tested fine, start button tested fine, start stop switch seems to be the problem according to my electrical tester and Clymer manual. No continuity in either the off or on setting.
Before I replace the entire right hand combo switch I was wondering if it would be worth taking it apart and trying to clean up the contacts? Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks. Will check this tomorrow before I make any decisions.

There's a plug under the right front of the gas tank that goes to the switch cluster.  Sometimes it will back out a little.  Will cause it not to start or to die if it's running when it happens. Looks like it's connected fine.  unplug and replug or just push in good and see if maybe that helps.  

If it turns out to be the switch, I would certainly take it apart.  At that point, you're not gonna lose anything.  You'll have to replace it anyway if you can't fix it.
