Got any active codes? If not, got a nearby hill? See if you can push/bump/pull start it.

Put your handlebar switch in the run position...So far all the symptoms you describe indicate it is in the off position.

I know your lights work but make sure the battery terminal connections are tight. If there is absolutely no crank...nothing...check your fuses and reseat your plug wires.

I would tend to agree that the kill switch is in the off position.

Just because the lights come on does not necessarily mean the battery has enough juice to start the bike. I hope if it turns out to be your kill switch was in the off position as suggested you can tell a decent lie!!!!
