At first I thought it was a bad battery...NO (even tried brand new battery). Voltage is good. I have power to the solenoid and the starter button. I can jump the solenoid and it will turn over but not start. If I push the starter button nothing happens, it does not matter if the stand is up or down. I have to be overlooking something? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Sounds like a fuel issue. Is there a fuse for the fuel pump? I would start there.

Sounds like a relay gone bad.

The fuel pump is working. If I turn the key and push the starter button before the initial "buzz" stops, I can get it to run for a couple of seconds. Then it just dies. Guess I'll check for a starter relay issue?.

There are several cut out switches other than side stand. Clutch lever is one that can get faulty. Neutral safety switch, tip over switch are some more.

I think this tells you it's a fuel pressure failure. Might be a swollen/ruptured hose or the pump/pressure regulator but I think you can discount any other items and concentrate your efforts there.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Dave,
Any reason why you start another thread for the same problem when the other one wasn't resolved? There were a number of questions asked that weren't answered. Not going to ask them again.
Good luck!
