Did you get a key fob? Could be the security system

Is there fuel in it? Then check for spark, maybe pull plugs and clean or new ones. Make sure battery is fully charged as well.

There is fuel in it (half tank). I will try plugs, battery seems to be cranking excellent. But I will put it on my tender for a few days and then check.

Try wiggling and holding up on the fuel connector at the bottom of the fuel tank.

I wasn’t given a key fob of any kind. Would the bike crank at all if it was a key fob issue ? Or would it just do nothing ? Thanks

IIRC it won't crank over. Also the fuel pump would not run.

If you do this check make sure that you have compression on the rear cylinder and the rear plug in.
