    Need more info, Juejue, How old is the fuel? Did you hook up a tender to the battery? I think it's a fuelproblem, cause it starts and runs for half a minute, clogged fuelfilter comes to mind, injectors fouled up, try to put some stabilizer in the tank.
    First drain the tank, put in fresh gas, try again, if problem is still there you need to use an injector cleaner, and install a new filter. (use injectorcleaner wisely, read the instructions from the vendor, cause that cleaner burns hotter then fuel)
    Just solve one problem at the time, bike's that are sitting for a long time, become a bit quirky. Do you see a faultcode?
    Many more things, can point to this particular issue, even critters in the airfilter, are somtimes seen.

    Let us know, if you solved the issue..
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    Since it is a V twin, and they are known to consume oil, ensure the oil level is 100% correct.

    Not sure why you are needing to disconnect the battery, possibly to reset a low oil code, but truly do not know.

    If it starts and runs, without running poorly, fuel is likely ok.

    The other item may be a failed vacuum hose.

    Those would be my own first checks.
