I would bet that either it is NOT getting fuel, or the spark is NOT fine. Why? Well, if you mix fuel with a good spark......it fires.
How did you verify that it is getting fuel, and that the spark is fine?
Oh yea, you should put some bike info in signature. I had to search for your other posts just to find out what you ride.
(it's a 2004 for others wondering)

i pulled out the spark plug and kept it connected to the wire and touched the thread to the motor and both of them sparked just fine. then i took off the air filter and saw that it was squirting gas.
im not really sure how to put bike info on im new to this site. ill look in to it.
thanks

Pulling clutch, re-setting key, cycling run/stop button....all that means absolutley nothing if he is getting a good spark and fuel. Spark + fuel equals fire. Fire equals combustion.
Does it crank good too? What all did you repair recently?
Are you flooding the engine with fuel???

Key off, means NO spark and NO fuel.
Kill switch off also means NO spark and NO fuel.
Since the original poster has said twice that he IS getting good spark, and IS getting fuel..............well, you decide.
