Default 1993 Suzuki Intruder won't start sometimes

I have a 1993 Suzuki Intruder VS800 and I'm having trouble sometimes starting it. Even with a fully charged battery, I press the starter button and sometimes absolutely nothing; no sound, no click, nothing. All other things equal I press the button again and sometimes it starts right up, sometimes same no-start behavior. I suspect a short in the switch? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
