This keep comming up lately. Here are some troubleshooting steps. Test the battery on a load tester, most auto parts stores have one. Check and clean your battery connections, also your ground strap for the engine. Test for voltage at the starter, and selonoid with the starter button pressed. Jump the starter from the battery + terminal to see if it will work. Check and clean the right hand control, and it's connector. Check to see if there is a fuse for the starter cable, if your bike has one it should be next to the selonoid, inspect fuse, and clean socket. Others might have things to add to this list, good luck.
