what they said, also try it in neutral, or check the battery connections, that could be it as well

There is a Vehicle Down Sensor (DFI section of the manual). Something to consider. Basically a kill switch.

Also your sidestand switch could be damaged. That will only allow it to start in nuetral. The DFI switch senses the bike is down and will not allow it to start at all.
