Hi, My starter switch does not work and we cannot find replacement as they no longer make them. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix or replace. Part number is 35013-MAJ-A32. Thank you.

Have you tried spraying electrical contact cleaner in it?
Is the kill switch part or the 'start button' that does not work?

You may find this part from this source, as the page does not say discontinued and it did allow me to put one in the cart showing cost. Might be worth a phone call to them.
I managed to order a new one. Hopefully it makes it. Thank you
Yes that website worked. I ordered a new one. I had ordered a new one from Bike Bandit, then they went bankrupt and kept my Money. Hope this one comes through. Thank you for the advice.

Wondering if you called them to ensure the part was actually in stock?

Just out of curiosity, are you sure it was the switch? When mine stopped working, it was the starter solenoid that went bad. It was infrequent, then got progressively worse. Super-easy to replace.

While you wait, you might take the switch loose and check to see if you are getting 'fire' to the connectors.
The problem with a lot of websites for ST1100 parts is they say they have it 'online'.
Then when they order it from Mother Honda (because they carry no stock), they backorder it with a 'who knows when' arrival date.

Not surprised - I have encountered that a lot over the past few years and is the reason for post #10.
Partszilla (IMHO) seems to be the worst for that.

How about buying a used RH switchgear assembly from eBay and transplanting the switch?

I don't buy parts until I do an electrical troubleshoot.
In the last days of owning the ST1100 I occasionally had to give the bike a slap on the Tupperware that covered the battery. First few times I took the cover off to find that it cranked with out doing anything else then I just caused a little vibration and it would crank.
Wonder if this part was only on the ST1100? Honda will often use the same part on lots of bikes might be able to retro fit one off a Shadow or some other model.

According to the parts fiches, P/N 35013-MAJ-A32 is unique to ST1100 1995-2002 and ST1100 ABS 1996-2002.
An excellent caveat. When looking for some discontinued parts for my ST there were myriad sites showing what I wanted and allowed me to place an order and they took my money. A day or two later I got an email stating the part/parts was/were discontinued and the money they took instantly would be refunded in a few day — please allow up to ten... etc.
So when someone says a part has been discontinued absolutely order anyway because a site doesn't say so and will take your money. Just don't expect to get the part(s) and you won't be disappointed when you refund. If you do get the part then Happy Days!
Have you tried trouble shooting at all?
I've solved the same problem by flooding the internals of the switch pod with a can of WD-40 and the red tube. Catch the overflow with a rag. If this solves your problem, you know you don't need a switch. This fix last many years for me.

To save the OP's time, I did check both the UK and US sites for them, with no luck.
