2011 Ultra Limited Starter Switch

2011 Ultra Limited Starter Switch *Bike Not Starting*
Ok, this happened to me 2 times recently. First, I never use the "RUN" switch so it is ALWAYS ON. It's my 7th Harley, yadda, yadda.
I get on the bike, turn the ignition switch on, wait for the engine lights to go out and hit the starter....... absolutely nothing, no noises, or clicks, nothing. So I turn off the ignition switch and then back on, hit the starter and it fires right up. Happened twice. Both times the bike was room temp, first start of the day.
Is there anything I should look at???? I wrench on my own bike and do not like taking it to the dealer. I think I have a little bit of warranty left.

if you have warranty, I'd suggest you take it in- explain that this happens rarely- but has become more frequent.
pose this as a safety issue; "if I stall the bike in the way of traffic, what if I cannot restart?"
I would guess that it could be a weak ign. switch.
the older models had problems with the switch if extra lighting load was installed up front-

I just went out to test this theory and I had my bike in neutral and I did NOT pull in the clutch lever and it fired right up. Hmmm?????
Typically I do have the clutch pulled in but just wanted to try this out and viola, it fired right up.

That is what should happen. If you have the bike in nuetral OR have the clutch pulled, it should start.
