Gotta be more specific. From what I am reading is your motor turns over but it will not start. If that is the case then you have to narrow it down to either fuel issue or ignition

Okay you say you took the battery out. Check all of the connections, see if you missed anything. Could be as simple as that.

It has happened to others, don't feel bad..

If you did nothing else to motor except pull covers than I would go back to square one. I would pull battery again look at all wiring check all the plugs that you might have pulled apart and some you just moved around. If you are sure about it getting fuel. Then I would focus on electric. Do you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the bike on?
