Ok Guys, I'm having some troubles diagnosing a non start issue on my bike. I took it out for a run to warm it up for some color tuning. I shut it off to put in the color tune plug and it wouldn't start after (I have the brake light and neutral light, but it wont turn over).

I'm at step 6 in here and have very little to nothing showing up on my voltmeter. My fuses are all good so I'm looking at the kill switch or ignition, but dont know how to test them. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

"Won't turn over" as in, the motor doesn't spin, makes no cranking sounds;
or "won't turn over" as in, turns over (cranks) but doesn't fire?

It was not doing anything. I'd press the starter button and nothing would happen. But I've figured it out. One of the things on the "list" I didn't do was change the fuse box. It turned out the ignition fuse had a clip that wasn't making proper contact. Took the fuse and squeezed the clip closer together and it cranked no problem. Although I don't want to do that too much or at all because I have no oil in it as it all drained out when I changed the oil level sensor accidentally. The good thing is I did learn a bit about wiring and electronics and my starter button got revamped.
