Update #2
She starts and runs for a couple of seconds with a shot of starter fluid sprayed int to intake. So, fuel delivery appears to be the issue? I suppose that just because I have fuel at the tank quick disconnect doesn't mean anything at this point and a fuel pressure test is next step?

While it could still be fuel pressure.
Using a noid light to make sure the injectors are firing is my thought

Were you feeding it fluid?
If you gave it a good dose I can see running several seconds , 30 would be a stretch
tho"ran like a champ " Did you give it a little throttle?
As suddenly as this happened it made me curious.
I'm just saying making sure the the injectors are firing could be a good thing

Not necessarily Spraying fuel in it took the place of the injectors spraying fuel in. Were you feeding it fluid? If you gave it a good dose I can see running several seconds , 30 would be a stretch tho. "ran like a champ " Did you give it a little throttle? As suddenly as this happened it made me curious.

I'm just saying making sure the the injectors are firing could be a good thing.WPRunning the SE Heavy Breather, removed filter, cracked throttle to open throttle blade, sprayed a few good shots through the front of the breather snorkle and she fired up as usual. I did give some throttle and she reved from idle to about 3500 twice before shutting down. I think the way forward is checking fuel pressure for a go/no go on injectors. If pressure is lacking I suppose pulling guts from the tank, inspecting and replacing everything would be the next step.

Ok yea you need access to the injector connectors to plug a noid light to them to test.
That could involve some work so your likely on the right track.
One other thing you might try is to remove the gas cap, turn the ing switch to run, ear to filler hole.
Try to listen for fuel spraying around in the tank while the pump runs to prime the system Have ck'd a couple and actually saw fuel being sprayed.
Pin holes in lines inside the tank
Probably Not does bike have a Security system ??
