Have you looked in the service manual at the wiring diagram for a 4 pin plug with those wires going to it?

Service manual available free on this site in the "Honda Service and Owners Manuals" section for down loading. You should never work on one of these things with out it.

i would go through and start testing some of the electronics, the service manual tells you how to do all this. also make sure the kill switch is turned to on.

Are you pressing in the brake lever then hitting the start button? You should.

Also make sure the kill switch is to the on position
