If all is OK and you hot wire it and still a no go, either the solenoid or starter would be indicated then. Maybe try starting it with a pair of jumpers directly from another bike battery (different bike) directly to the big starter lug (+)and ground (-), then bridge the small terminal on the solenoid thus eliminating any bike wiring possibilities. If it starts or at least cranks you have a wiring problem.
