It can just be a simple battery issue. If the battery gets low, there isn't enough energy for the CDI. An hour on a battery charger might help.

You might be able to compensate for a low battery by bump-starting the bike. Find a street with a slight downward slope, turn the key on, place the bike in neutral and roll down the street. Once you're moving at a good pace, pull the clutch in, kick the bike into second and let the clutch out. It should fire right up if everything else is ok. If the wheel locks up, try again, but use third gear instead of second.
