When the ZX was working properly did any lights turn on when you only turned the key? On my bike (old R6) the dash, headlights, taillights, and other shit all come on when I turn the key, regardless of what is happening with the kickstand, killswitch, starter button, or being in gear. From my recollection all the bikes I have been around do "something" when you turn the key on. If the ZX did anything when you turned the key before, but isn't anymore, you may want to investigate your key switch.
Prior to this, with the old battery I'd get juice (lights..the clicks etc ), but it wouldn't start.

Pulled off all the bodywork to do cleaning and checking.
Got the new battery, tossed it in.
Zilch..no lights, no nothing.

With switch off
test the battery -12.x
Positive terminal on battery to frame - 12.x
Connections on the starter relay - 12.x

Turn key to on
test the battery - shoots down to zero
Connections on the starter relay - shoots down to zero
