Check the fuses and starter relay. They are under the opposite side panel to the airbox cover. If the fuse is blown it will be pretty obvious when you hold it up to the light. The second fuse is a spare.

Very possibly a bad connection due to the bike being stood. Check, clean and apply dielectric grease to keep everything corrosion free.

Do the same for the battery connections. The 2018 starter wiring is known to be sub-standard and the components have been uprated for 2019. Your dealer may be able to supply an updated set if your bike is still under warranty. Use vaseline on the battery connections to keep them clean.

The lights run off the same supply as the horn so your problem may be in the light switch. If you have an electrical meter, check the following connections in the swich make:

Lights on dip beam Red to White
Lights on full beam Red to Blue
Starter pressed Yellow/Red to Black/White.
The starter button doesn't feel very positive at the best of times. You may need to push it at different angles on the button to get a contact.

While you have the wiring connector apart to check these, clean and grease as above.
