i agree battery could be it - it's a fuel injected bike, so when things go bad there. did you check voltage with bike running and it not running? other guess would be bad gas or old gas as well.

Have you checked codes?

"No fuses?"
Somebody eliminated the fuse block?
Does it have circuit breakers, then?
How old is the battery?
If it won't idle, it could be the stepper motor.

There’s only the main fuse, so he probably means if anything works, everything works. No individual fuses to check.

I’m still waiting on code check.

You said you checked both posts, so you missed one. You need to check the ground cable where it's attached to the frame.
