welcome
please don't use pressure spray cleaning machines around electrics and the radiator because the fan behind the radiator should not really get wet.
The boys here like Deoxit and with a good reason, but also a good dielectric grease will also provide good protection.
Most electric connections are under the tank but a few are down lower and can be troublesome.
BTW do not try to start the bike unless the battery is in a good condition. If you do it with a low battery charge you may weld the starter relay closed and the starter will keep running without ignition being on.
