Check all conections at the battery - starter silanoid - and starter. Also check all the fuses.

SOURCE: Replaced selenoid, tested battery, still won't start?

Your motor might be hydro locked with gas if the bike has sat for a long time. Pull the spark plugs and try to start it. PUT RAGS OVER THE SPARK PLUG HOLES, disconnect the plugs from the wires. Chaz Moto DC

You have the classic symptom of a dirty carb, has the bike been sitting ? What is happening is you are compensating for more fuel by activating the choke, you can try some "Techron" you get it at your local auto parts store its usually in the fuel injector cleaner area, this can sometimes dislodge and clean the jets, if that doesn't work then I would have the carburetor clean properly.

Motorcycle will not start, even with a "good" battery. No lights, nothing.

I would check all the fuses first. If all the fuses check good then I would check the ignition to make sure it's getting power and is able to flow power through the switch out.

1997 Kawasaki VN 800 A Vulcan how to bypass the ignition switch

If it follows the rest of Kawi's line-up, (and it probably does): 5 wire?!

Brown=Ignition
White= Battery
Gray=Ignition
Blue=Taillamp 1
Red=Taillamp 2

Brown is for things that need to be energized, like the rad. fan, etc.
Gray is for the ignition/ignitors themselves.
Connecting white, brown and gray should get you going. Add blue for lights.

Red, together with white is for parking lights.
