New spark plug wires
Replaced just the spark plug chords and now bike won't start. Put old chords back on and wouldn't start either. What happened? No error codes. Lights everything turn on but won't turn over at all.

I don't have a key fob. I hooked battery up to a tender and it goes to full charge in 10 min so battery is good

Battery cables tight on all four connections; battery, starter and frame? Next would be to check run switch, start switch, and stater relay.

For whatever reason I disconnected the battery and connected it back up and it started right up. Beats me. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Most likely just a bad connection that was good enough for the lights but had too much resistance to turn over the starter.
