Possible starter solenoid issue - M900

Has anyone had a solenoid fail on an M900? A couple of rides ago I left my M900 parked for 2 hours or so, on return to it there was no life whatsoever from the starter button- no clicking, no dimming of lights or anything. I switched everything on & off, kill switch too etc., loads of times but nothing happened. It started immediately with a push start, fortunately.

As soon as I got back home I tried it again and it worked perfectly, and has done ever since. I've checked the solenoid connectors and had a look in the handlebar switch & everything seems perfect. I wouldn't think it was the starter motor itself as there was no dimming of lights or clicking.

Do the solenoids ever have an intermittent problem like this, or start to fail in this way?

Thanks
