Hi.
Check if there is power to the dash. If there is no power at all, check battery terminals, battery, then fuse box and ignition. You will need to check voltages in this order, use a test lamp. Ensure that battery cables are well tightened.
If the dash comes on, but the bike does not crank, it is either a problem with spark or with fuel.
If you have not done it yet, test the kickstand switch. The switch can be tested reading Volts at the two contacts with ignition on. If kickstand is up there must be volts on both ends. The part can also be tested by jumping it. Here a picture:
If the kickstand switch is not the culprit, check the fuel pump. Test fuel pressure using a gauge like this:Lisle 20300
Fuel pressure with bike revving a bit will be 40/45 psi.
Check if there is spark when you crank. If there is no spark check distribution.
Have also a look at the throttle potentiometer. See here replacement cover and pot.

Hi.
You are welcome.
I wanted also to remind you that the bike should be covered with basic warranty (it has less than 36K miles). The following maintenance is due (unless done within the last 12K miles):
Level I plus spark plugs, fuel filter, sometimes a belt (on Twins), and final drive and transmission fluid change.
If dash is on but the bike doesn't start, like if there is no fuel, start from the kickstand switch. That is a pretty common failure.
All the best.
Ginko.
