I don't know. I'll try and explain this best I can.

When i start the bike, in neutral, with the kickstand up or down, it just makes a very faint click. Then nothing...

It did that for a while until I started to feather the clutch lever just a little and then the bike would fire right up. But not always. Sometimes feathering clutch would do it. Other times... the bike would just fire right up like it always use to without touching anything.

I've charged the battery with a conditioner. I've cleaned the battery terminals. So it's not that.

And it will start right up when it feels like it so it doesn't seem like the starter. . If it was the starter I'd think it wouldn't start at all, ever again.

But it does seem like it's in the wiring... somewhere.

So I took it off. Inside somehow got a TON of dirt and corrosion and maybe even mud wasps?

Cleaned it all up and seems to be working fine. For now...
Thanks guys for everything.

I'll post pics of the completed handlebar and paint.

The clutch switch. . The two screws that hold the slider on. Inside of that where the switch is.
