Can you elaborate a bit more? When you hit the starter button, can you hear the decomp solenoid click and then the starter turn over?
If it doesn't turn over, that usually points to battery, starter, or bad safety switch (in your case the battery is good). Double-check how you start the bike: in neutral, kickstand up, clutch in should be all the safeties.
If it turns over but doesn't catch, that points to spark plug, battery (again, but not as dead of a battery before), or carb (air/fuel).
If you have some starter fluid (or carb cleaner or brake cleaner) squirt some into the cylinder and then try and start it. If it catches once or twice, carb issues.
yes i hear the solenoid click.. it turns but just doesnt catch. it may back fire quite a few time and sound like it wants to start. but it falls a little short lol
