Butterfly thingy doesn't turn on ignition

Hi,
So I am trying to get my ZX6R back up and running after a few years of sleep. Bought a new battery and hooked it up but when I try to fire it the butterfly thing in the picture doesn't turn and it doesn't sound like there is any "priming" sort of stuff going on. Then when I try to kick it over it just winds over and over with no ignition.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

stating the obvious...but....have you checked the fuses ?

Sometimes they can work again if you give it a light tap and wiggle...happened to mine but then failed again not long after.

If you have an aftermarket exhaust, might be worth getting a servo eliminator....if not may have to replace servo (providing the fuses are alright, etc.

Lol yep checked fuses thanks mate.
Decided for my own sanit that it's going to the shop to get sorted.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
