Hello. Your help please

X9 200 Evo

My bike has been outside in the rain  Spain .It's been non stop and very heavy.
Lots and lots of rain.

It won't start. It has all electrics working as normal no problem apart from nothing when you press the starter.


Any clues please.

Iv cleaned the relay ,kill switch with contact cleaner. Nothing.
All fuses good .gloves box and under seat.
Side stand has been bypassed years ago. Battery newish and fully charged.

Brake light is working so the only thing left is the lever switches that iv not touched or cleaned.
  All lights and dash is working as normal.
 Immobiliser light as normal.

Apart from lever switches  can you think of anything else?
I'm baffled.   Is it just a case of letting it dry out .Time.

Thanks in advance

Gina shares the current stable with Nelly (Tornado 900). Had a Vespa 150 Super when I was 18 and my dad courted on a Maicoletta. 2 wheels are in my blood as I'm also a Time Trialist and general headcase. Gold E46 ragtop and Fiat Coupe 16VT are my current/most recent brum-brums. 61 and won't grow up. Acquired the 2003 250SL on 6th June 2021 and so far have lifted the screen to height position 3 and replaced the OEM seized shockers with YSS jobbies with 2 chunky washers each side of the replacement units+original spacer on preload 2/5. Replaced the worn Avon Viper Stryke boots with Pirelli Angel Scooter. 25K miles used but not abused workhouse from Cov with yearly service for sub-a-grand so happy days. A few scuffs but nowt of consequence. 20mm thick Neoprene sponge bonded to glitzy, reflective Jintan top box with pillion back rest solid bumper lump. Just changed my n/s rear light bulb without removing the rack and top box. No mods to the rear panel hooks performed either and re-installed the 2 x 10mm bolts for rear light integrity so not to rely on the 2 x latch panel/cover screws.

If there is no starter motor activity when you press the button, then something in the 'lock out' must still be active. Kill switch, brake light switches, side stand as if all these are clear the starter will at least spin the engine over then only the immobiliser can stop it starting.
Even tough you bypassed the side stand, water may have got in and re-applied the cut off.
Check that both brake levers turn on the brake lights. Sometimes your 'favourite' lever fails but it will start when using the other.
One thing, where you are it won't take long to dry out.
