It will spark with the plug out. Bike has no way to tell if it has compression or not.

He needs a code reader. With out one is makes things a lot hard to track down or to eliminate as a cause.
2015 Street will not display DTC in the speedometer .

After check the kill switch AKA Engine shut off switch.
The ignition switch needs to be check.

Good chance the ignition switch or one of the relays is bad.
I will send you some things to look at.
