Your ignition is probably fine what you need to check is the starter solenoid, more than likely that is what has gone bad. To find it follow the positive cable from the battery and it should lead you to it. If you turn your ke to the on position and touch both terminals on the solenoid with a screwdriver the motorcycle will turn over.
