Question

TIME BUT NOW IT WONT THE BATTERY,S FINE THE LIGHTS WORK AND THE BIKE WILL RIDE IF YOU BUMP START IT I JUST CARNT GET IT TO WORK ON THE SWITCH CAN YOU HELP THANKS TOM

Answer
1 Did you check all the fuses?  Also, is the battery FULLY charged?
2 Next, has the bike been left in the rain?  If so, spray some WD-40 into the switch.
3 Do you have an electrical continuity tester?  If so, check the wires to the start switch?  For this you'll need the wiring diagram for your bike.  Do you have one?
4 It could be the starter motor itself.  Does the starter motor or the starting solonoid make any noise when the switch is pushed?
5 Do the lights dim when the starter switch is pushed?
