Do you have any codes? The ECU must be unhappy -- the two things that that jump out at me that make it unhappy to spark while happy to crank are the vehicle-down sensor and the ignition resistor.

(On newer models at least, if the ignition resistor is not present, the fuel pump will not prime when you turn on the ignition. And if the kickstand is down and the bike is in gear, the fuel pump will also not prime -- so be sure those are not the case.)
Yeah you can hear the pump come on when u turn key on
