Hi, 09 Ulysses XT. Bike wouldn't start. Checked the relay, good. I was going to check all of my grounds and then replace the starter if it still didn't start. After a bunch of Google searching found soeone on Reddit with the same problem. They said check the light fuse. I did and that was the problem. Just posting this in case someone else has the same problem. The light fuse is not an obvious place to look.

XB starter system designed exactly like XL and XR1200 systems:
1-tiny amount of power goes from "start-switch" to starter relay
2-power transferred from starter relay to starter solenoid
3-starter solenoid receives direct maximum battery power via positive cable
4-starter solenoid transfers maximum battery power to the starter assembly
it all begins at the "start-switch" which receives its' miniscule amount of power from the headlight circuitry.
