How many miles on it?
Is the fuel fresh?
Does it run well?

Did you winterize the bike before storing it for a few months? If not, it's possible the stagnant fuel has damaged the fuel system or gummed it up. At the very least, you should siphon the gas out of the tank and put fresh gas in.
Is the bike even starting? Just for a sanity check -- when you start the bike, is the kill switch set to on? The kill switch is on the right side, next to the throttle... In addition, make sure the kickstand is up and the left brake lever is fully depressed before trying to start it.
Even if the fuel sensor indicates the tank is empty, it should still start.

If it helps, the only time I have seen the full fuel gauge blink, is when checking the valve clearances. Had the fuel pump disconnected and turned it over.
If its not starting I would guess a problem with the pump.
