Question Bike doesn't start sometimes.

I'm having an issue with my bike atm, been like this for 2 weeks now. I'll describe what happens.......
Turn the key, press the starter...nothing
No clicking no nothing, its like its a dead battery. You see the lights dim till you let off the starter.

Battery is brand new, fully charge, good to go. Bike is in neutral, checked all my connections and what not...Everything is good.

I can push start the bike after I push start it I can turn it off and turn it back on fine with the starter like there wasn't a problem. Sometimes if i turn the key on and off 2-3 times it'll work after that. Sometimes there's no problem at all and it starts just normal.

I open the starter to see if a wire is loose or something, theres none. I'm not sure what's wrong. Battery is new, no wires loose that i can see. It's kinda not big of a deal, because I can push start it when it doesn't start with the starter button. Just kinda embrassing sometimes when a group of people are watching :P Any ideas?

Try jumping your starter relay with a screwdriver, If that turns your starter motor over then your relay is bad. If it doesnt, then its your starter or something else.

Problem solved for the moment. Took the relay off and saw that my fuse was rusted looking and had some crusty white crap on the connectors. Clean that and replaced the fuse and bike runs everytime. It hasn't done what it did before yet.
