If it does not makes a "Click" Noise when hitting the start
button
then check to see if the starter will operate with the bike in Neutral if so this would indicate a fault in the switch/sensor in the Clutch lever.
Check for possible issue with the contacts in the start switch (sounds like you already have).
if there is a "Click" then check for:
Bad Ground:
There is a ground cable that is under the rearward most alternator mounting bolt (only 3,front top,back ) check it for corrosion and looseness, Also Negative Battery connection may be loose or corroded.
Next, Positive Battery terminal and the cable/connections from battery to solenoid.
Check to see if in the solenoid sends Voltage from the Solenoid to the Starter.
Lastly: Check the Starter Brushes refer to Haynes Manual. The brushes in the stater wear and once reach/near their service limit will need to be replaced.
If it is the starter I think new from triumph for around $400.
However they turn up on EBay and can be had for under $100.
