Starting problem

Hello, I have a 2004 transalp 650 and it stopped turning on. I went to a locksmith to get a copy of the key. Due to the price he gave me I didn't buy the cloned key and went on for a ride. After a few minutes I stopped and the engine died and the starter did not crank. Another motorcyclist helped me push start it and I went on about 1-2km before the engine died on me, this time for good (it worked perfectly in that time). The green key indicator does not light up (neutral and oil both lit up with the key in on position) and I could not push start it anymore. I have tried disconecting the battery but it did not work. The key indicator doesn't light up, the started is not working so could the key be damaged by the locksmith? He made a remark that the keys have a limit on how many times they can be read and that he is keeping the codes on his pc in case I changed my mind. I know that the keys and the HISS system is prone to malfunctions and was wondering if that could be the case. Could you tell me if the starter should crank even if the HISS has an error?
