With it being a new to you bike the kill switch may have been accidentally pushed. With the engine running, very slowly turn the kill switch in both directions and note the distance it takes to kill and see if it will stick there between the detents.
You might want to clean the starter switch and the kill switch.
Early 2001 models had a recall for the kill switch. Not all owners bothered to get the recall done so that could very well be your problem.
