engine start and stop switch

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.

A lot of people have problems with the clutch safety switch and kick stand safety switch failing. Before you tear into anything else, I would suggest testing those. If I remember correctly, they may prevent continuity from ever reaching your kill switch.
Check it out and let us know what you find.

I guess that means I'm no good anymore; I've got 4 more cylinders! '08 Yamaha FJR1300 and still '01 Savage

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.

If it is the switch and cleaning doesn't work, I would bypass it. I never use it. When it gets bumped to off, it always takes me more than a few seconds to figure out why my bike won't start. I shut mine off by putting the kickstand down and occasionally with the key.
