You're going to either have to recondition/rebuild the one you have, or find a used one on eBay or from a bike breaker.

As a last resort, you might try Digikey, just up the road
from me here (Digikey.com). They have been an electronics
parts house for decades, and your choices will be many.
BUT - any momentary button switch will work as long as
it can handle the coil current. It might not look pretty,
but will get the job done. Like I said - last resort.

The starter button is more than just a momentary switch. It is DPDT momentary, with the NO contacts on one of the poles connected to the starter relay, and the NC contacts on the other poles connected to the headlights. So you need a high-current DPDT momentary switch that can reliably switch 12VDC with 5 amps. Safely rating a switch at 10 amps, here's what I come up with at Digikey that could handle that application:
