I’ve read everything i can find but still don’t have the answer. First the startus-interuptus fix has been done. My friend also has exact same problem. 2007 and 2008 Norge 1200.
tuen key on, dash sweeps as normal and hear all the regular noises purge pump etc. push start button hear a thunk (from the starter solenoid?) and then nothing. It’s like everything good right up till the point where the starter should spin. Like I said the fix of a battery fused wire to the yellow wire at the start solenoid has been done.
if I jump the yellow to orange wires at the start solenoid the starter spins and bike starts. So the basic thing is the start button does not get the starter spinning. Checked the clutch switch, SS switch, neutral light works, new battery that checks out. I had a suggestion to clean the ground on back of starter but since it starts by jumping the solenoid I don’t think that could be it? The button wiring goes thru the clutch switch and the bank angle sensor, could that be where the problem is? But why on both bikes would that fail?
what am I missing, it sounds like I’m having a brain fog or something but I read the start procedure in manual and follow exactly.
it’s pretty weird that two bikes in one garage have this same problem but I find nothing on line with this exact situation.
thanks for looking.

Could be the button itself, seen 2 that had bad R/H buttons. Try it 1st w/generic button. Make sure the pin connectors on R/H switch are crimped OK, seen bad ones from factory.
 
I hear what your saying but the button must work because when pushed the starter solenoid makes a sound, big thunk is how I’d describe it.
 
If everything tests OK, including the load test of the battery, it may be an issue with the starter relay. It may be passing enough to initially energize the solenoid, but not enough to keep it engaged.
