Is the engine cranking but not firing up?
If so, is the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to ON but don't crank the engine?
Do you have spark at the plugs?

Make sure the battery is charged. Clean the terminals and connectors.

Supply battery power directly to the starter. If the engine cranks, then there's a circuit problem.

Check for blown fuses.

Check whether the switch at the top of the clutch is working, as well as the starter cut relay.

Also consider a bad ignition switch.

it's usually the main relay but if you hear the fuel kicking in, the main relay is fine. Had a similar problem and it only happens during summer/very hot day.

it could be your ignition coil getting too hot or possibly your ignition switch IMO
