Answer
Tony,

-you will have to do some checking to see
if it is a fuel problem or ignition related.

-Get a new spark plug and check for spark.

-If it is okay, check your fuel supply, tank vent
fuel filter. If you can, try some carb cleaner
or such in the air intake, see if it fires.

-Make sure your battery cables are tight, and battery
is fully charged.

-Look for any loose or corroded wire connectors.

-Check your fuses.

-If you have no spark, check connectors for loose
connections or loose wires. Check kill switch,
clutch switch and side stand switch.
-You may be able to test these with a multimeter.
-check ignition switch.
-last resort is the ignition pulse unit and
ignition or spark module.
Check for power to your ignition coils also.
