Any choke at all?

Fuel injected. There's no choke from what i can tell.

Okay. I think I narrowed it down. The fuses were all okay, a bump start worked on it, and after stopping the engine it sounded like the starter was trying to do it's job before giving up. I think it might be the battery.

Well, wasn't the battery. haha. I guess it's something to do with the actual electric starter.

Yeah. I got it to start today when I hit the handlebar in a small bit of frustration. It has to be a loose wire in the starter assembly. Hopefully it's not too hard to take apart and reassemble.
