Ya'll will never guess what the issue with the bike is.
My bike, as it turns out does NOT have ABS, contrary to what I was told by the previous owner.
I installed an ABS meter assembly. Everything else on the bike is basically the same except that part.
It's looking for a front ABS sensor at the start sequence which is why the speedo doesn't work and the ABS light stays on.
Good news is it's a super easy swap. 1 beer job.
I thought I'd likely be able to return it because the Odometer still reads 0 and there is no way they'd be able to tell. EXCEPT
I bought that part from Bike Bandit, which if I haven't mentioned did not ship about $150 in parts to me, and now their phone number is no longer in service and there is no way to contact them. I assume they folded.
A new one from MegaZip, the company that has been doing really well sending me parts is $850. NBD, but now I'm cuss out of all of that cash no matter what.
At least I know for sure what the problem is this time and it actually makes sense.
took another shop I took it to 30 minutes to figure it out. Which makes total sense based off what others have told me.
