I have a 2008 TBS 260 w/ 13K miles on it
The brake handle or handles must be depressed. There is a switch on both handles that engages the starter when you push the start button. One (the right one) has to be depressed.
I recently found a loose wire clip on connection to the brake handle switch was loose just enough so the engine would crank intermittantly. Very anoying.
I also tested the switches workability and found one not working.

just to rectify, 'depressed' means not using it. Pressed means using it. So I guess you all mean 'pressed'.
Yes, brake + starter need to be pressed, because it's an automatic. Should the throttle hang, while you start the bike it'll fly off with catastrophic results. That's why you always need to press the brakes while starting.

Great advice. Whenever I have starting issues on the same scooter, I put the key in the on position and check each break to see if the break light goes on. No light, odds are the switch is shot.
