Won't start!

Cleaned my air filter and fitted a gps to the battery.
Bike started just fine after. Warmed her up and checked the oil.
Left bike in the rain by mistake.
Started. Got about a km and she was not getting fuel and died.
Bike will not start.
Pls help

Got the seat off and spraying ALL plugs with wd40.
Checked that the filter was not to oily.
Disconnected the gps.
Took the seat off to dry her in the sun.

when you turn the ignition on, do you hear the whizzing of the fuel pump priming?

HAve you checked the fuel pump is getting the volts and working?

did you use high pressure hoze to wash the bike?

Check clutch, neutral and particularly the side stand switches.

We had a recent case of almost identical behaviour that was down to a worn side stand switch which failed as soon as the engine started and the vibrations broke continuity.
