You have a battery under your seat.  Make sure the connections are clean and snug.

no headlight? blown fuse or negative batt term conection.  starts when push starting? fuse

remove the right (as your sitting on the bike) tail piece and you will see it and a spare in the holder.  in the pic I circled it in red. (photo curtusey of Mr. Kerry. )

Here are some more pics and diagrams (http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=125122#125122) related to the fuse.

sounds like what I had a few weeks ago.

If the fuse is ok, check and clean the connectors  on the  fuse mount.
Mine were kinda gummed up and causing the same problems.
