New to me 08 with 29k. Bike ran fine for a few hundred miles then started to run terrible. Now it won’t even start. Checked all fuses and relays. Put in a new battery and it still will not start. Can hear the fuel pump prime. No CEL or engine codes. Starting to pull my hair out

start with basics: fuel, spark, air.

Some quick-n-dirty checks:
fuel: pull the plugs. are they wet with fuel?
spark: with plug connected to wire, ground the electrode (just rest is against the head). Can you see spark when turning over the engine?
check both plugs.
Air: pull the air box and make sure there is no obstruction.

results of these checks will determine next steps.

My 2008 started to run crappy like the timing was going out. after a long debug process, I determined that the ECU itself was bad.
I cut my way into the black box and reflowed the connector solder but it still didn't run right.
A new "Race" ECU from IDS fixed it and made it run better than it ever did before.
It's not cold-blooded at startup like it was either.

I bring this up since it's very damn easy to plug in a second ECU just to see if it fixes you. Is there someone near you with a 2008-2009 XB12?

Probably need some more info;

Does it crank but not start?

Is the ECM damaged or cracked?

Anything clogging the airbox?

My Uly wouldn't start not too long ago so I brought it in to the shop. They found it was a bad headlight. I was shocked. I don't know if your case is the same since my bike didn't run poorly before it just wouldn't start again.
