I assume your killswitch is on because the fuel pump primes. If your kickstand is down it has to be in neutral. is the battery fully charged? Will it crank at all? Check your wires, maybe something came loose when you unloaded the bike.

+1 for kill switch. when you press the starter do the headlights turn off temporarily?

Am i reading this wrong? You have a dead battery and you wonder why your bike won't start?
