Most likely cause is the side stand switch; loose, corroded or just failed.
Then the kill switch......then maybe the ignition switch or the start button itself.
Seems like I remember a switch on the clutch lever too.

If you haven't already, switch the kill switch off and back on a few times.

You will probably need a meter and a shop manual (available here for download) to really figure it out.

That all assumes that the headlight lights up brightly; if it is dim, then you probably have a battery problem.
