Electric failure

So took the a4 up to Boxhill on Sunday about 40 miles from me, no problems.
Very near home on the way back indicators not working, dodgy aftermarket relay I thought.
Got home, stopped bike, went to put in garage and no start! Just Oil, Neutral lights and horn, nothing else, no lights etc.
Any ideas anyone before I strip it apart.
Thanks

Kill switch / starter button switch gear earth, or the wiring to battery.

Check the connectors under the tank near the headstock had something similar and one of these was slightly loose ( multi connectors)

Rather weirdly, I wired an earth from starter solenoid directly to the battery and everything was fine again.
Only thing now is I have a very slight flicker on the lights when I put indicators on, sure that's a dodgy earth somewhere.
Bought a PMC solenoid from ZPOWER so maybe that will help.
Will only use it a couple more times this year but I do have something to play with in the winter now.
