2007 R3 won’t start

Are you saying that you checked the horn/brake-light/turns and they did not work either?

What does the battery voltage measure with the Key ON

Okay, new battery it is then.
Only had the bike for 3 weeks and done nearly 800 miles. Will contact dealer tomorrow and see what they say. I know them well and have a good relationship with them so hopefully they’ll help me out

Cheers for your help guys, much appreciated

Once you get new battery, you will want to confirm that your generating system is working properly
After you get it started check the voltage across battery with it running - you should be in the 14's.

Thanks, I’m assuming that anything less than 14 volts means generating system is up the spout too ?

The exact voltage may vary depending on RPM, battery state, load, etc.

I believe the last time I check I was running around 14.7 with the new series regulator.
