The first and perhaps most important thing to do is go to any of the online parts suppliers such as denniskirk, bikebandit, partzilla and open the Kawasaki ZG1200 Voyager XII illustration for "Ignition Coil" and look at the Igniter # 21119-1248. It sits on the top cap, part # 11012-1490, of the upper air box: illustration--Air Cleaner/Filter.
Now check the stenciled part # on your bikes igniter and if it is 21119-1178 change it to the 1248 upgraded igniter as soon as possible. If the white stenciling has worn off then I myself would assume it is an 1179 igniter, unless it is the original owner who can attest to the igniter having been changed to the 1248.
The 1179 igniter is responsible for a lot of broken starter chain adjusters which leads to broken chains which leads to new crankcases and this 1179 igniter was replaced by Kawasaki. But some bikes changed hands and/or the owners became unknown so they didn't get changed out. Not an item one wants to contemplate having to deal with.

The issue I'm currently experiencing keys in the on position switches and on I press start I hear a click and nothing else I know the bike will run if you try to push it in the drop in the gear but maybe in brand new I know that's not a good idea What do you think could be the issue there
