Check the simple stuff first - make sure it's in neutral (light could be out) or try pulling in the rear brake lever harder. Check battery charge and clean contacts.

Can you pull start it?
Is it the original battery?
When was the last time you rode it?
Charge the battery and try again.

Fresh gas-drain tank & carb.
Clean carb.
Fresh battery.
New spark plug.
Pull plastics and check all wiring for signs of shorting. (Mice activity)-put bike in pitch dark room, engage starter, watch for sparks.
Check Fuses.
Check all safety switches-hand and foot-brake-starter for proper operation.
Check CDI
Remove stator cover and clean stator contacts.

Some things to check, in no particular order.

I don't know about the OZARK - but the KQ series has an on board clock that cannot be shut off and it is a constant drain on the battery.

My local dealer mentioned it the other day because of riders like yourself that leave a bike for months at a time and come back to a dead battery...

The only real solution for the KQ was to keep the battery on a slow trickle charger or you could pull the battery...either way it's worth thinking about.
