if its not the fuse check the solenoid for a click (it should be close to the battery as well) when you hit the start button. If the solenoid doesn't click it is bad.

Do you have a neutral light( when you try to start it)? Have you tried pulling in the clutch lever, while trying to start?

By does nothing do you mean no noises or movement or it just clicks? Make sure the kill switch is in the middle position, and if it is, then you might want to troubleshoot that circiut. I figure you have the kill in the right position, just covering all the bases!
