When I push the starter button, it only works intermittently. If I hold it and kinda move it around it will end up starting.. Its VERY frustrating.. Ive heard that the switch can be taken apart and the contacts cleaned but I dont know how to take it apart... I cant seem to find a diagram online.. Any suggestions?
Should only be a couple of screws holding it together have a look from the bottom then try a squirt of water displacement like wd40 or crc if not one of the soldered fittings may be loose

Starter motor bearings or brushes are sticking. Strip and overhaul.

you need to check and see if you have 12volts at the relay and if you have 12volts at the wire from the switch on the relay. if you are getting power to the wire from the switch then you may have a bad starter relay.

Your fuel pump is vacuum operated, I would look for a crack in the rubber somewhere. Also, the side stand, the bike will start with it down, but will shut off the second you put it in gear. I have a 2002 S4.

It seem like your on the right track ,if you have power one minute and nothing the next .you could have as you suspect an eathing problem ,Wires can rub and the plastic caseing will exspose the bare wire which will cause the problem you are getting .Theres no quick fix here you need to check any wires that could be eathing out ,And this could be anywhere on the bike around the effected area where you are having the problem .
