I would start by spraying a little bit of starting fluid in the air intake.

Try starting the bike after spraying the starter fluid.

-If the bike starts up and then dies, then you have to check the fuel filter, clean the carburetors, and check for clogged fuel lines

-If the bike cranks over without signs of starting at all then you might have an electrical problem with your ignition system. I would check the coils on the spark plugs and the spark plugs themselves.

Good luck
