Bike won't start

In a bit of a jam. My 2020 kawi 450 won't start. It has a brand new engine. My buddy that I bought it from offered to take a look at it. I remember when he rode it, it needed to stay on the charger till he went out to ride. I bought a new battery for it. Then we find out the wire from the solenoid to the starter was fucked up by the exhaust. So that was replaced and still won't start. I remember it was able to bump start. Any input? 

 

*I bought it knowing it had a starting issue, cause I'm not afraid to fix things

As far as I know it should. He put a brand new engine in a year or so before I bought it

check and see if your getting any spark from the spark plug. if no spark its a electrical issue.  if your getting spark and it still wont fire up it could be a fuel issue.

If it is not turning over, check the fuse

Just another reminder of why I sold my 4 stroke and just ride my KX250 2T

no electrics, no valves, no timing chains..

gas, air and spark!
