Have you reviewed the owners manual?
Is the issue that the electric starter will not energize?
Have you tested cranking volts?
Have you tried kick-starting?

Please spell-check and punctuate text.

To Repeat, Have you read the starting instructions ?

Turn on Ignition switch
Retract side stand
Hold left brake ON
push start button
(engine should start)

If nothing happens, try holding the right brake lever ON (bad switch in left brake ?)

Have you tried kick start? When my battery "died" (my power got too low) my lights still worked but when I would hit the ignition, nothing would happen. Try charging the battery and see what happens

check the kill switch by your right thumb and make sure it isn't on the kill setting.

Clean the spark plug and try spraying something flammable where the spark plug goes. Helped me get mine started two days ago

Cranking volts?  Try jump starting from a car battery . . car engine should NOT be running.
