Carefully, hit it with some starting spray fluid. Careful. That will tell you if fuel or electrical.

And welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia. Be sure to add your bike and letters similar to mine as a signature.

Just an idea, reseat the quick release fuel connection from the tank to the fuel intake manifold. Those connections at the tank sometimes get crimped and prevent fuel feed. Disconnect it and reconnect it and give it a try.

In MY opinion, he shares my frustration with requests for help with next to ZERO information provided. OP didn't mention fuel pump sound, if he had done any recent maintenance or modifications, if it has security, did he check the shutoff switch and other things that might provide a beginning point.

Understood but since the OP is new maybe giving him the benefit of the doubt wouldn’t hurt.
I thought this forum was to help people not criticize. JMO

Hello and welcome.
Please provide as much information as possible since we are unable to s"see" or "hear".
For example:
How long have you owned the bike?
Miles
When was the motorcycle operational last?
Changes from stock like air cleaner, fuel adder, pipes, bars, grips or whatever.
From a distance and based on minimal information i would check to see if you can hear the fuel pump.
If you can hear fuel pump then i would review spark.
If you have spark then spray some start fluid into the intake.
Then i would remove fuel pump access panel and check for a broken fuel line inside the tank.
