I disassembled the bar switch, cleaned the contacts and spring of very minor corrosion and it works now . I know I'm probably not the first to post this, but figure I'd post it in case others have the same issue.

I take pride in fixing instead of replacing. Partly do to being a cheap ass, partially because i find it very satisfying. I've spent hours fixing something i could have bought new for like $20.

theres actually another thread on here currently of the same issue. one of my tips was to clean and inspect the starter button. Ive seen many times where someone will bring in an atv and they have tried about everything and its a dirty start button/switch. in the late 2000's I noticed a huge amount of rocker kill switches being replaced on the skidoo rev chassis snowmobiles. I took one apart and the contact area was all corroded. I cleaned it up nice and put some dielectric grease o9n it and it worked great. people were estatic when I could clean their switches for minimum labor ($20)instead of all the dealers that were selling them new switch assemblies for like 80 bucks.

its so awesome when you buy something and its a cheap fix. I made a hue trade once and part of it was 2 gen2 tecate 3's and enough parts to build 2 gen 1 tecates. one of the gen 2's ended up being an 87. the guy said he replaced the clutch but it still slipped and he didnt know what was wrong with it he seemed really irritated like he struggled a long time with it. my first thought was he didnt soak the plates and used an oil not meant for wet clutches. nope! he had the clutch lever adjusted so tight it was holding the clutch like half disengaged!!!!! like how the hell dont you figure that one out!!?? That t3 had all kinds of JP Racing stuff and a 300 big bore with a hand built pipe. i sold it for 3900$ but i wish i would have kept it.
Hey,,,, I was going to do that same thing and for the same reason. I took the control mount off the bars and pulled the control switch through but could not see how I could "disassemble" without cutting it apart and destroying it. For quite awhile I have figured that the detents/contacts were worn because the key has to be in just the right position to get enough voltage to the starter to turn quickly enough to start; even though the dash light is on. Any chance you can detail how you took the control switch apart? Thanks, Walt~
