The bike DOES have electronic ignition - but it does not have an electric starter.

There is no key for a motocross bike. Some have on/off switches, or a kill button. The YZF has a kill button, so no key, no switch, just choke it, find Top dead center, roll past and kick.

The YZF426 could be a real bear to start, especially once it was hot. It was much better than the 400 (they changed the ignition curve), but I can remember many races where riders sat on the sidelines, kicking away at a 426 that wouldn't start after a crash.
Here is how to start a 2001 YZ426:

After following the correct ritual (finding top dead center, taking the kick stroke just past that point -- with the compression release pulled in -- and then, with the compression release out, kicking through swiftly), the bike most frequently starts on the first kick.

This bike is a kick start and does not have electronic ignition.

May have a plugged idle jet and could need to have the carburetor idle jet cleaned.
