Get your battery checked, could be so low that the lights are on but not enough juice to crank the starter

Check the kill switch on the right side handlebar.

Do you have a security system? My FOB battery died and she would not start.
As mentioned, the kill switch is an interesting sort, Mine broke in the ON or RUN position. Lucky for once!
