    Why do you want to avoid dielectric grease?

    I havethe same issue on my 2005 Buell xb9 City. New battery. Turn it on, lights, the dials sweep, but often, nothing happen when I hit the starter. Sometimes wiggling the bars does it. Sometimes cursing helps but not always. I thought it might be the clutch interlock switch. I just tried it and it worked 3 timesin a row. Probably a bad ground as suggested. Electrical problems suck.

    you just "trouble-shot" your own problem and found the culprit.
    as i mentioned the starter button switch sources its miniscule power from the headlight circuit. it sends that power to the relay when activated. i'd start by simply removing the right switch gear housing.....check the switch....wiring.....then continue down the wiring loom into the headlight bucket area and to the steering neck area. closely check the wiring looms for signs of fatigue at a connector, chafing, broken wire, etc etc. and i never determined why but the cityX/SX model notorious for broken/faulty ground clusters in the steering neck area. check closely!
