check cables, ignition, fuel, air, spark... check compression... and heaven forbid the kill switch isn't... is it? Hmmm not easy to diagnose via the www... bit like prospective patients looking for a medical opinion or diagnosis over the net... meh... doesn't really work out.

you can check the spark by hold the plug against the engine (with the lead on) and hitting the starter you will see the spark if it is happening. A good healthy spark is blue. Check the fuel by undoing the drain at the bottom of the carb bowl, once you know its got that far it should get the rest of the way to the engine unless the jets are blocked. Are you sure the cam is timed correctly? Does it have compression?

stick your finger over the plug hole and hit the starter , if it pushes your finger away it has compression, you could use a compression gauge , usually you can hire them

no worries. Its also a good idea to use new gas especially if the bike sat for any length of time .The gas gets stale and loses its desire to burn
