Bike making a hissing sound will not turn over

Does starter relay show good or is the relay inside the black box? Can you put your hand on the starter motor and feel a hissing like a bearing squeak?
Have a remote battery, a set of starting cables, stab the starter motor at the cable stud, meaning, key on, bench test the starter motor and see if the engine will start/run/hear a sustained hissing/key off before it blows up/seizes something?

First I would put the bike in any gear and rock back and forth just to make sure the engine isn't seized. Then I would pull the green wire off the starter solenoid to see if the hissing goes away. If it goes away pull the starter and troubleshoot it. The noise could be arcing that your hearing from a possible locked up starter.
If you end up pulling the starter be sure to disconnect the battery before you begin. FYI starter parts are available for rebuilding at https://wildsteedworx.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=68_173_82_419
