Answer
Hi Ezequiel.

What have you checked on the bike?  Have you checked for shorts in the ignition system or for bad ignition components?  

Get the repair manual for the specs and specific test proceedures.  Also check the ignition fuse.

 When you say it doesn't start, does it turn over or do you have no power to the bike at all?

As old as the bike is, I would also go through the entire electrical system to check for shorts, bad fuses and bad components.  The most common spot for shorts is where the wiring goes from the frame to the headlamp housing, since that wire section moves the most.

Start with those and let me know what you find.

Good luck and ride safe.
