Newbie with a noobie question!! Embarassed

My Speedfight2 lights and electric start stopped working.
The front, rear and dash lights and electric start all stopped working suddenly.
However the indicators, brake lights and horn still work perfectly.
Engine is also running fine (with kick start)

When I try to start it using the electric start only the starter relay clicks.

So far I have replaced the fuse, bulbs and swapped the battery also.

My question is, could it be the starter motor itself? And if so, would this cause the lights to stop working? Or is it more like a dodgey connection?

Any help appreciated.. Thanks Smile

Have you tried jump leads from a good / donor battery or what is the battery voltage reading?

Check for a bad earth connection.

I took a live feed from the battery today directly to the starter motor and nothing. I have a spare one laying around so ill get that fitted tomorrow.

But in the mean time i am just wondering if anyone knows if this electrical circuit is anyway related to the headlights? And could the faulty starter motor be the reason my headlight and rear light stopped working?

New starter installed and IT works perfect.
But the front and rear lights still not working.
Only brakes indicators and horn work.
.... help! Sad

Havnt been able to measure battery yet, no multimeter. But it's brand new so I don't expect it.

I've checked all bulbs, fuses, connectors etc. but lights still don't work.
I'm suspecting the switch on handle bars. Is there any quick way to test this?.
