As for your starter issue try jumping it directly from the battery to the starter side of the solenoid. If that is good then you probably have a bad solenoid or connection between the solenoid and the battery. You could also try boosting it from a known good battery to see what happens. The circuit from the starter button to the solenoid to the starter itself is actually quite simple.
In case you are not aware, one unique thing with these bikes is that they need battery power to start, even when you are kick starting them. They won't fire initially without it.
It must be killing you not to have it on the road this long weekend with the weather we are having here.
