Welcome to K11! There are a number of things to check. Are you trying it with the bike in neutral?
First things to check are the sidestand (it has to be up), sidestand switch and the kill switch - they get corroded. After that, start checking electrical connections. Do you hear the pump whine when you turn the key?
