I lifted the tank last night and found the vacuum lines to be newer than the rest of the stuff under there. I judge that by that fact they are not covered with crud like everything else. I now suspect the dealer replaced them when they were working on it last time.
By the way, the bike started right away in the evening. I spoke with IDK and went over some ideas for the next time I jump into it. One of which may be electrical. I disconnected all the auxiliary lines I had on the battery for now and will keep the tender on it till I get better/thicker battery leads hoping that will help some with the starting issue.

Stacking connectors on the battery will lead to bad contact problems. I got me a marine grade busbar, and fed one battery connection to it, and connected my devices to the busbar. Of course each device must have an individual fuse of its own, but you already do that I am sure. You can place the busbar where convenient, but make sure you put the little cover on that should come with it, so it doesn't short on anything. No bad contact! Everything works!
