Battery possibly not strong enough.
Try disconnecting the lights or charging the battery.

Is there enough fuel in the tank?

Yesterday we decided to go riding but my bike wouldn't start. I had just charged the battery, so i was perplexed. Then i started checking the battery connectors and found that one of them had worked its way loose, causing the battery to only have minimum connection. This also meant that the battery had not fully accepted the charge from either previous rides or the charger. I tightened up the connections, jump started the bike from another bike and took the bike for a long ride. By the time i got back home the battery was fully charged. Only a thought but check your connections to not only the battery but to any accessories you have added that may draw current. Then try to jump start your bike. If it starts when jumped but not on its own, you may have a battery that is going bad.
