Consider replacing with an aftermarket block if it's chewed up too bad.
May 20, 200816 yr is your battery charging? check fuses & block first then be sure your batterys charged, charge it fully try again if it starts you may have a charging issue.
May 20, 200816 yr Update- The battery I know for a fact is good Check your fuses. If the battery is good, you should have instrument lights whether or not the stator / field coil / voltage regulator / voltage rectifier are good.
May 20, 200816 yr Moderator you havn't inadvertantly switched off the bike via the kill switch did ya? eh? wobble your keys in the ignition switch in case its not making contact and take out and put back your fuses ensuring all is clean
