Bang hard as you can on it with a hammer... use to work on my old truck!

[Killaz]

Can you provide more details? Is the starter not cranking? When you press the magic button does it do anything at all?

check or change your starter fuse, located under your left side number plate just beside the door.

A great place to start.

also look at the coil wire.

Is the starter turning over or is the bike just dead?

Will it kick start??

[Dust Devil]

Also take your clutch lever off and inspect the switch.

Also check ur Starter Button inside. I've had one break inside and no worky...............

okay my bike will start if i kick it over and when i hit the starter button nothing happens i checked the clutch switch cause i made my own outta a toggle switch and i checked the 15a fuse and its still fine..

[Rhoghead]

Did u pull the Starter Button Case apart?

[crf450x]

yea i pulled it apart and tried to test it with a light isn't one wire supposed to be hot when u push the button?.. the yellow and red one?.

[Rhoghead]

My Button case broke inside, not allowing contact @ the push of the Button. You might also check all your wiring behind the Number Plate.............

i checked the wiring behind the numberplate everything is all good there.!!

It might be a little late but if you have a steering stabilizer the wiring can get routed poorly and when you eat it with the wheel cranked to one side or the other the starter wire will get pinched and break.
Had to run mine back into the shop to have them find what had happened. The wire was broken inside the shielding and unless a multimeter was used it was impossible to see.
Good luck.

This is what kindof happen to mine, my wires were thashed by the steering head.

As suggested look at the starter button again - the case that holds the button will crack inside and you can see this when it is apart.
