I'm also having intermittent problems starting:

No problems with power, key turns on accessory lights, etc. Kill switch works normally.

Push the start button, nothing happens.

I can get it to turn over after "fiddling with it" meaning turning the key off and on, or the kill switch off and on, dropping and lifting the kickstand and however I cannot be certain that any of these things is what is "fixing" the problem. I suspect this might be because I rock the bike back and forth while "fiddling", so it's possible that it's a loose contact, or a problem sensor.

Thoughts??

If your talking the clutch spring bolts turn her over get the tap drill and watch as you drill her from the back as the broken bolt will probably spin right out. Seen it happen to a few so far everone has been lucky.

Oh and as for riding one around for a while skipping 2nd gear . I did it at Triumph recommendation until the weather turned to slop. It did screw with my 1/4 mile times but held up fine until winter came.

Less shifts getting up to the pathetically low cruising speeds in town, means fewer times the wife's head bounces off the back of my helmet ;-)
