The only time you need to change the fork oil is if the seals are bad and it's been leaking. Or you take them apart for some reason.

The float height when inverted for measuring should be 14.6mm plus or minus 1.00mm

Yes, this can happen. You need to check your HT leads and caps for damage (the lead that fits onto each spark plug).
A good way of checking is to run the bike at night and look for small blue arcing. Often the problem is more noticable if you ride in the rain or have been a little enthusiastic when cleaning the bike.
Hope this helps.

those readings sound fairly good for the battery and (when running) the charging system but im surprised if youre getting shocks from those dc voltages. check ht leads from coils for possible current conduction which may be causing the problem you have. also check all earth connections and consider fitting ground earthing strap similar to those used on cars

your gonna want to remove the air filter, and spray into airbox. Peak inside first, look for the little hole that goes thru to the carb, aim for that location. And be quick with everything, starting fluid evaporates fast

Use some wd40 around the coils and spark plugs, this will get rid of any water.

Make sure your battery is fully charged and is ok.
make sure lights are all off and try again.

use a chain spilter spilt the chain and attach the new chain to the old one turn the crank round to pull the new one on to the sproket of the crank then set your timing up and rivet the split link to the new chain.make sure you can get the chain if you check the net im sure you will find a spilt link for the new chain or buy a new chain with a split link.

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

A broken timing chain is the most likely cause, the piston is hitting an open valve, or you have a dropped valve or a stuck valve. Another possibility is something jamming behind behind the side covers.The key would be how you discovered this? Driving along at 105 and the engine stopped, or ???https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+suzuki+boulevard+timing+chain+or+timing+belt....

You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.

The crank case will be almost as hot as the oil flowing around the engine, lubricating the bearings.
