Trouble in Yorkshire.

There is a difference between the engine firing and the starter motor turning. You said you pulled in the clutch, Assuming of course that your clutch switch is serviceable.

For the starter motor to turn over you need the bike in neutral. The earth path for the starter relay goes through the gear selector switch. Or if the bike is in gear, then pull in the clutch will provide an alternative earth path for the relay.

The side stand switch has nothing to do with the activation of the starter motor. But it does effect whether the bike will run or not.

From what I can gather your problem is the starter motor does not turn.

Yes Ian, does not turn from the starter button while all other activities for bike to normally turn over as usually happens are good from the button.
Picking it up next Saturday and sort the problem out why at home. Maybe the thaw will bring it back to life.

Came across this but not sure if it is relevant though.

The only way to get it started is to short out the starter motor to the solenoid with a wire or a screwdriver
 
Trouble over. On going back to pick up the bike, it started first time on the button.
Just like it’s done for the last 15yrs.

The cold, snowy and wet weather must have froze up the starter microswitch or relay mechanism.

Hope Sunday is good enough to go for a ride.
