Hit the solenoid with a hammer or something heavy and see if it starts then. As far as I know they are the same. The VN series 1 was different, then the VS changed again.

could be the alternator not charging the battery. or did you mean you put a new battery in and the problem happened right away, before any charging.

is it auto or manual btw?

Have you checked the connections on the starter and the battery, make sure they are tight.
