did ya open up the ignition switch and check the contacts.
if not, open it up and check, if your bike is parked outside, chances are the contacts got all mucked up. and corroded. a small toothbrush and some WD-40 will cure your woes.
if that doesnt work out, check your power switch on gas tank. Those lil buggers usually come loose, or just crap out.
either way..... your dealer should help ya fix a no start issue with out muss and fuss. and your bike HINT... HINT...HINT is always garage kept.. these aint BMW's

Thanks for the replys so far. The batt is %100 . No the motor dosent turn over it's not even trying to. No I didn't get a alarm. I'll try checking the switch. Just not sure how because I never did it but I'm sure I can do it

If you go to hit the start switch for the motror to turn over and the lights go out then I would have to say it is the battery connection.
