Try pulling in the clutch. Could have a bad neutral sensor.

Bypass your sidestand switch.

OK. Seems most of the usual things have been checked. On the bottom of the gearcase side of the starter is a connector with a green wire to it. Pull the wire, attach your multimeter to the wire, then turn stuff on and push the starter button. You should get something in the area 12V. If not, you will have to work your way back, starting with the start button

If you do have 12V, then the problem is in the starter or its cables/connectons.

Hope this helps, Dave
