    Stuck starter solenoid? Could try disconnecting it and shorting the wires yourself to start the bike (be careful!)

    Pinched wire ? Broken starter button? Unplug the wires to relay

    A stuck starter clutch is also possible, but EXTREMELY unlikely.
    Check the electrics first.

    Depending on your bike, you can pull the thumb switch back out. The button-type probably not, but if you have the lever type, just pull it back manually
