So I go out to start my Kat and it cranks for a split second if that, and then nothing. I push the start switch and nothing, I jumped the starter relay and started the bike. Is there a way that I can test the starter relay to see if it is fried? I checked and cleaned all connections and the battery is good.............

I also check the voltage across the 2 wires that trigger the relay the clutch safety switch and the ground. When I hit the starter switch and I see that there is 12 volts going across the two wires. I'll check into the side stand switch, but I thought that it doesn't matter if the side stand is down as long as it isn't in gear?

As I mentioned above the clutch safety switch is a common "no start" problem on these bikes. Take it apart and clean it. I had intermittant start problems with my bike. This 10 minute fix has corrected the problem 100%. If if it turns out not to be the problem it's only a 10 minute exercise and you can then rule it out. See info below.

start wiggling wires
when you have it running have the left side cover off and start wiggling the wires from the battery towards the front of the bike behind the left side cover, if the bike dies you have a bad connection problem.
