I would say your main culprit is likely to be electrical connectors. If you disconnected the P8 are you sure that all the connectors are grot free and making contact once you reconnected them?

Are they the right way round (I know that they're keyed but I have seen mistakes made on computer systems where 'keyed' connectors are out of line). Are the connectors firmly seated?

If disconnecting the P8 is all you've done and the bike was working before, this is likely to be the main culprit, but I wouldn't think you've blown anything.

It could be something co-incidental to removing the P8. Did you tug any of the wires in the loom for example. It could be another electrical connector altogether. My ST had exactly the symptoms you describe when the crankshaft position sensor stopped talking to the ECU - No sparks because the ECU didn't have any information on when to fire the plugs, or the injectors. My problem was cured by cleaning the contacts in the connector plug between the sensor and the loom.

So it may be that, you have a loss of info from one of the engine sensors either caused by the connectors at the p8 end or the sensor end
