I have tried both front calipers and both have no fluid coming out! What the hell has happened any clues?

Never seen this on any bike I have owned.

Yours is a 2017 ABS model I recall.
When you started bleeding one side, got a little fluid out before it went solid, and then closed the bleeder. At this point, was the lever still solid?
Then when you went to the other side, did the lever move? Did any fluid come out?

Did the lever go in at any point after the initial lever lockup on the first side?
