Squeeze the clutch in and try it again. |

Try looking at the relays to see if they are in good conditions. I had a similar issue that ended up being one of the relays. Not the big start relay, but one of the 4 relays under the seat. |

Have you tried resetting the security system? Or does the console not display any text/output? |

Keeping it simple... Check the wiring from the controls around behind the fairing for broken or stripped wires. IF the red light under the key on the dash comes on and stays on after the gauges sweep then yes it is the security system. |

You mentioned something about no headlight. There is a safety were the bike won't start if the headlight fuse is burnt out/missing. |

I removed the fairing checked for broken/chaffed wires I've been through the troubleshooting guide in the electrical manual I'm not an idiot spent most of my adult life diagnosing and repairing automobiles tomorrow I will test on off switch and start button for continuity if that's good I'm literally pulling my hair out |

but what about the red light above the key on the dash. Does it stay lit or does the light go away after the gauge needle swings? |

I vaguely recall that the headlight and starter relay are on the same circuit so you should check your headlight fuse to see if it's blown. If the fuse keeps popping then you most likely have a short up in your headlight harness. Definitely think those two are related so once you get the headlights working you will likely find the starter issue resolved as well. |
