Default 1998 zx7 ignition clicking wont start

hey guys, my 1998 zx7r wont start sometimes when i hit the ignition switch. i do hear the ignition click at the juction box, but wont kick over at all. then sometimes i can hit the juction box (fuse box), and it will kick over like there is something loose or shorted. any help would be appreciated.

I don't have an answer here, but I've got a 98 too and sometimes when I hit the button I won't get anything. I'm like "Oh No..." but then I try again and it's there for me...weird that you have a similar problem!

my 95 zx6r seems to do something like this on ocassion. The relay seems to be fine. the closest i can figure is that there is a dead spot on the started motor where it doesn't have a good connection

I have a 96 that does this everytime i found that if i unhook the relay sits next to the fuse box (4wires) it works fine then i just hook it back up this fuse controls the fuel pump?and headlights? i think. Im not sure why it works yet but it does

Comes down to the good connection it seems.

Regarding the pressing the button and it not doing anything.

I've found that if the bike is in nuetral, it won't start with clutch IN
