2005 vector starter engages only sporadically, started this last year, I checked electrical connections, cleaned and dielectric grease on relays, how much of a pia is it to get to the starter cable. you can turn the key 50 times with nothing, then all of a sudden it will turn over. any help is appreciated

Sounds like a bad starter relay. Next time it won’t turn over touch a screwdriver between the 2 posts on the relay. If it turns over there’s your problem.

I've been trying to solve the same thing. https://ty4stroke.com/threads/solvi...osion-and-air-intake-screw-tightening.149010/
I just ordered a new starter relay. I tried a used one, but am thinking that one has issues too. I would imagine it's to be expected that they will only last so long.

do you just replace the 30 amp fuse or the whole thing?

I am replacing the whole relay. The fuses are likely not the issue, unless you have severe corrosion on their terminals. Usually corrosion will be on the relay pins, or the relay will be failing inside. For $50, and piece of mind, I'll just replace it. If I'm wrong, and it's not that, at least I know it's new and good for a while.do you just replace the 30 amp fuse or the whole thing?
Did you check for corrosion on the relay and it's white connector plug?

Ignition may be getting bad also. Check ign plug in too.
I'd also check kill switch.
Lots of possibilities.
