Default F**k!! Bike won't start

Gauges sweep, fuel pump primes, starter cranks fine. No FI light. About 150 miles on the tank, so it has fuel. I had to let it sit and take the truck to get to work. Rode about 300 miles saturday, and it rained all day on and off sunday so I didn't ride. Best I can figure is that last fuel stop was shitty stuff- a Speedy Meedys. So I poured a little Sheetz stuff in from the lawnmower can (I filled it about a weak ago, so it's fairly fresh). Didn't help.

Guess I'm tearing the airbox off to clean the filter and pull the plugs when I get home. Maybe get some seafoam or injector cleaner on the way. I'm looking at a parts diagram for the fuel pump/tank, and it doesn't show it, but there must be a fuel filter. Figure I'll change that if I can get to it.

This is the first time I've had any trouble with the bike. It's always started the first time I pressed the starter with no hesitation. Nearly 13,000 miles on it now- I was planning to do most of this when I do the valves at 15k. Just pisses me off that it ran perfect over the weekend, even yesterday to move it out of the way. It's stored inside, so that's not a problem- no leaves or critters to wreak havok.
