You mean it wasn't in neutral when you were hitting the start button?

My 2007 Won't Start. Please Help!
The bike won't start. The lights go on, the fuel pump works. Hit the starter button and nothing happens. No cranking. Just nothing. Zero. Nada. The other day it started fine.
I checked the fuses. I made sure the battery cables are tight and properly grounded. I checked the cable to the starter switch. It's not throwing any codes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Heh, I had that problem in class, trouble-shooting a no-start Honda Rebel. Verified it worked, left the room for a few minutes while the instructor "broke something" for me to figure out, then spent forty minutes testing electrical components before I realized all he did was put it in gear.

You have to pull the clutch lever in to start in gear. Most bikes are like that, so you can't have power going to the rear wheel when you're cranking the engine.
