unhook your battery, then hook it back up and wait 45 minutes for the alarm to reset, then try to start the bike...i never use the on off kill switch. also you may need a new battery in your key fob. mine would sometimes start and sometimes not, the key fob battery way dying
I would get a volt meter or multi-meter and check battery voltage looking for around 14V. Try starting - does the voltage drop under load? How much? If it drops below 10V you probably need a new battery, have Autozone or (?) load test it. If it doesn't drop it isn't seeing a load from the starter. At this point a wiring diagram would be helpful...in general terms when you push the starter button the starter relay should close and send voltage to the starter/solenoid. You need to confirm that you have full battery voltage to the relay and starter/solenoid when the starter button is pushed. Find which component is not receiving battery voltage when attempting to start and determine why.
