No year told. (nor country) wiring not same, year, country nor
the S at end is very important too.
fuse blown
my r1000s had he pesky kickstand switch that loved to fail.
there is huge fuse box in this bike,
the users guide cover

no start means starter motor dead, or cranks fast but engine does not start, and run.
?????????????
and Neural safety switch failing, fiddle it about.
the dash light glows for neutral.yes you said.
all bikes here have right thumb dead man;s switch
if tripped engine goes dead (no spark) (saved me offroad once, fell in to brambles.
a panic button not like on boats with lanyard switch .

tell what the starter motor does, dead silent , clicks ,chatters or spins.
it uses 10 more current than lamps. so battery must be good. and pass load tests.
bright head lamps not DIM at all.

one more forgot yes the clutch switch bad kills the starter relay.

5 switches happy painted red here by me

I would check the starter relay, and any fuses associated with it, also does this model have to have the clutch in or brake on to start? If so check the switches there as well because you may have one switch that is stuck
