So you effectively bypassed the solenoid? Therefore it seems likely the problem is your solenoid or the wiring to it. Solenoids are very simple devices that rarely go wrong, a coil and a magnetised bolt that makes a quick connection at higher amperages. On earlier monsters the two-pin small wire connector had an issue coming loose, I do not know if it the same on the later ones. On of these leads should have power when the starter button is pressed and the other should be to earth.
It might be worth checking that the starter relay is working. I think you can swap the relays around and see if the solenoid then functions.
