Possibly the solenoid? Had a buddy whos Honda that wouldn't start after gassing up on a trip. It would still start if he rolled it and popped the clutch (getting old and can't remember what that is called, jump starting maybe??), anyway he did that the whole weekend. Went by the shop and they were able to use a screwdriver and bypass the solenoid and the bike started fine.
