You say you changed the solenoid.
Did you even check to see if the starter motor works?
The 2 sensors you mentioned will prevent the engine from running.
Since it will run when push starting the bike, they are working.
I'm finally getting an idea of your question.
You should word it like this "When I press the start button, nothing happens."
I forget with your bike, does the headlight come on when you turn on the key?
If it does, the headlight should turn off when you press the start button.
If the light doesn't go out, the handlebar switch may not be working.
If the headlight "doesn't" come on when you turn on the key, disregard this paragraph LOL
Before changing the solenoid, you should have checked if the starter motor works.
Touch the 2 large terminals of the starter solenoid at the same time with a large screw driver (careful of sparks).
If the starter motor doesn't turn, there's your problem (starter motor, it's ground, or the wire to it).
The "neutral safety switch" may be damaged.
Try pressing the start button with the clutch lever pulled in.
The switch is there so you cannot start the bike when it's in gear (the bike could start rolling forward, take you by surprise and throw you off the bike).
The neutral safety switch is at the clutch lever - you can see the wire coming out of the clutch pearch.
If the battery was the problem, the starter motor wouldn't turn when you jump the wires on the solenoid.
You're lucky I came back to this question to see if anyone else has posted any answers. Otherwise I wouldn't have known that you added details and asked me a question.
Include your contact details along with your profile, so people can contact you (as I tried to).
Contact me and include your email address, year,make,model of your bike and ask a question if you like.

If hasn't run in a year this could be a foul purchase to pass off a adult men word for what replaced into incorrect with it. If he knew, it in all possibility does not have sat for a year. Did he park it with gas in it, or replaced into he sensible and carefully drained it? The carbs greater that possibly will could desire to be got rid of, and carefully wiped sparkling out/ inspected. it could desire to have the carbs synched as quickly because it is finished, and an idle drop on suitable of that doesn't harm. If it began and ran then each and every thing replaced into working properly adequate for it to do what it mandatory to. something got here approximately to alter that equation. it could have been something so undemanding as a foul floor breaking touch. A digital volt meter, and the provider instruction manual could be efficient. start up with the battery (voltage source) searching for finished battery voltage. save working your some time past alongside the wiring harness to an element (load) like the ignition coils to work out if there is any substantial drop of voltage alongside the way. working example, in case you have battery voltage going right into a connector, and purely a trickle popping out of the different ingredient, that connector might choose a greater precise inspection. Is it corroded, loose even though. an excellent greater undemanding technique is to drag your spark plugs, carry the electrode against a floor and attempt to crank the bike. in case you notice an incredible blue spark that area of your electric powered gadget is robust each and each of ways out of your battery to the plug suggestion. on condition that a motorbike purely desires air, gas and spark to run that looks after that area quite undemanding. there could be a protection gadget battling it from working. some motorcycles require the two the take carry of to be pulled in, and the kickstand up. There are commonly electric powered factors that are meant to end the circuit letting the commencing gadget artwork suitable. If a type of has any corrosion, or has come loose from the connector it won't artwork the two. The troubleshooting area of your provider instruction manual is efficient for something like this through fact it has a pass chart which will stroll you suitable by using each and every thing you may desire to attempt to parent it out.
