Do you hear a click when you crank? If yes check the battery terminal if its tight enough. Most of the times its something pretty simple.

Kill switch? Did you do anything with the grips or bars?
Check fuses.(?)

Don't be ashamed. I sometimes does the same. The last time my HD headphone was dead like a zombie. Looked every solution but overlooked the connection to the helmet of the spiral cable. Was thinking 'too far' and even asked here for help. Then I realized that I didn't check the helmet side connection. Was indeed loose for a mm or so, to less to see it immediately. Stupid? No, human" Yes !

Maybe you should carry a starting procedure list with you so you can review it next time you encounter a no start.JMHO

The only time I apply a starting procedure is when I am in the right or left chair at the front seats with a birds view to experience in 10 minutes or so. Not fully serious before starting a motorbike...

I would double check the charging first, then the ignition, I lean towards the crank sensor for the symptoms you described.

If you are not getting anything it sounds like a ground issue.
