Skorpion: engine starter does not turn after 1 year storage

The bike has been in storage for one year. It is not starting now. Battery is OK, fuel line is OK. When the Start button is pressed, there is one "click" sound coming from right behind the battery, but the starter does not turn. And somehow, the N indicator is not lit even when gear is in neutral, but all other indicators are OK.
The engine last worked one year ago.
Any idea where it fails?

Do you need to pull the clutch to allow it to start, normally?

Neutral light switches stick i had to replace my recently.
I would be inclined to remove the starter motor to see if it has seized thru lack of use and if it spins up away from the engine, the click you hear is the starter solenoid.

Following a biased and flawed moderator choice (someone posting aggressive personal attacks is rewarded, while my technical posts are removed - behind my back & without any justification!), I have withdrawn from this forum.

@Blurredman, @breakwellmz, @Puffs, @Dave Thompson... Thanks very mucch guys. The problem was indeed bad connection with the starter motor. The bike starts right up w no problem now.
