Because the motor "cranks" doesn't mean:

  • It has to start
.
  • The battery is fully charged.

just because a battery is charged doesn't mean it's still good. a full discharge is really hard on a battery. for the heck of it hook it to another bike or your car battery (with the car off!!!) to try to jump. Maybe you just need a new one

The coils need 9.6 V to fire. If the battery has less than that while cranking, it won't fire. As was said; jump it from a non running car battery. If it fires up, get a new battery.
