Give us a bit more info....like what year/model bike you have. Did it do anything strange last time you road it? Did you or anyone else touch or "work on" the bike after the last time you road it?

Check your ground. At the terminals and where it grounds to the frame.

Check the maxi fuse. Disconnect it, wait a bit, then reconnect.

get the battery checked out, it may have failed even though you think it's charged.

In the past I have had almost new batteries fail due to a loose plate that shorts out inside. This condition can sometimes be intermittent and the battery can sometimes read as full charge. If your ground is not loose I would suspect a battery failure.

Does your fuel pump run? Does your engine light come on and then go off? Your ground is connected to the two allen bolts at the back of the starter. You can try pulling your starter relay and system relays out and check for corrosion. The system one is on the right side under the side pannel.
