Does anyone know please, if the starter solenoid on the pre-2010 and the post 2010 are interchangeable? Ta in advance...

Thank you very much for going to so much trouble, it really is appreciated. I changed it, pressed button and no 'clunk' from solenoid plus no start-so I guess it's a question of tracing through the wiring, fuses seem ok and cleaned the starter button and kill switch.

Check the cut out switches on the side stand and the clutch lever, and the connector blocks where they connect to the main loom.

Thanks Doebag,I appreciate that...

Just as a 'heads up' in case someone else gets the same issue. It was the 'kill' switch. The first thing I checked before working through the system. There was no obvious fault, even checking contacts inside the switch as one of the first moves. Found it by accident (read 'good fortune') whilst holding the starter button down and wiggling wires and contacts as a last, last resort I put my hand on the handlebar and brushed the cut out switch which was 'on' and didn't visibly move: Engine started! I have fiddled about with it but there is no rhyme or reason, just the lightest touch makes it on or off.  I will change it-as I say, just a bit of info in case...
Much obliged for the support and suggestions by the way.
