If u kept it "wrapped up" outside it may be damp. Get the clocks off (screen and fairing inners out)15 min.  dry it out and check the connectors aswell. Try it and if still not workin check it on another bike.

Yup, good suggestion.  While you have the clocks inside drying, check all the pins on the connector block and trace the wiring loom back to the next connection in line and inspect that, too.  You're looking for corrosion, damp or damage to the tiny pins in the connector block.  Electrical contact cleaner and dialectric grease to clean and then protect against future deterioration.

Assuming your battery is OK / has been checked?
