Tried starting the bike today. All I heard was a click. Tried it again, 4-5 times, same engaging sound. Leveled the bike, brought up the kickstand, checked to make sure it was in neutral, even pulled in the clutch. Hit the starter, same deal.

Then I put it in gear rocked it back and fourth, put it in neutral, and it started. Good thing though, because I was a good hour from home.

So does this mean my starter is going out, or should I start checking connections. AFA hot start problem, I did ride the bike before, but 4 hours passed by the time I experienced this.
 
Check to see your sidestand switch isn't sticking, and that neither is your starter switch button. Some WD40 may solve it.
