Brand new battery, all connections are like new clean.

To be clear, the bike is not cranking and starting with the new battery right now?
What is the voltage reading on the new battery? (expect @ 12.8)

Then go on to the next step:

Disconnect the positive lead running from the start solenoid to the Starter motor. Key on, wait 30 seconds - what’s the voltage at the batt terminal where it connects to the start solenoid?

now hold the start button in like you're starting the bike, the relay should click - move your positive lead of the VOM to the side of the start solenoid you disconnected the starter lead wire from - what’s the voltage?

it should be a MAXIMUM of 0.2-0.5v different than your first measurement.

2016 FJ09 bought with only 500 miles. Just passed 3k mark. No electrical add ons. I can jump it but will no start on its own.

That kind of rules out the starter relay eh?
