    Gotta go with the basics, do you have spark? Do you have fuel in the carbs?

    Have gas,spark I don't know yet. All I know is that I was riding, shut her down for the night and she would not start in the morning. Thinking bad on-off switch?

    You need to verify the problem first, guessing works once in a while but best to know that lack of spark is the issue.

    Rock the RUN/OFF switch back and forth a few times. How's battery voltage ?

    It's not hard to get access to rear cylinder plug wires, so do your spark tests there.
