could be loads of things. check your cables
carb blocked , try some carb cleaner
check the needle pin hasnt come off the tiny clip
take off air filter box and spray some petrol into the carb and see if it kicks over then , if it does then its your carb either not releasing petrol , the pump not working (note the pump work from the vacuum created by the engine , its not electric and only worked when the bike is turning over ,
holding the carb upright unscrew the bleed screw on the bottom of the carb? is it full ? or dry?
check to see if theres a spark , hold the plug against the frame (dont hold the plug itself , hold the ht plug bit) and turn it over . spark?
if no. you might want to check the wiring on the stator , sometimes the stator bell rubs against the internal wires and cuts through it ,
check wired are all plugged in the the relay behind the right hand rear side panel
