Fisrt off welcome to the forum, and don`t worry bout the english quite a few of us are outside US/UK anyway

Your problem sounds like a simple electrical glitch that shouldn`t be too hard to fix, first thing I`d check would be the clutch switch, neutral switch and the sidestand switch. Of course one obvious thing to look is also the starter fuse.

Even more evidence of an intermittent contact issue within one of the safety switches. Get a multimeter out and wiggle all of the said switches with the meter hooked up to them, look for erratic beeps with the continuity tester. If the bike thinks your sidestand is down or clutch not pulled in it will not let you start it.

Welcome!

I'd start by checking the battery, start switch, and the starter relay.
Do the lights dim when you hit the button?
