Just a thot, is the engine kill switch in the 'ON' position? Could be easily overlooked after the changes made.

Gdub, whats up with that kill switch ??? anyway, after you check that i have a weird one for you. check if you have any blockages to the fuel return and vacuum line. sounds weird but it seen a problem like that once.

my last advice is this, try to start up the bike with the kickstand up. could be a faulty switch. make sure that you are in nuetral but clutch in anyway.

lol seems to me that I'm having the same issue here.
Full Tank of gas, replaced the battery, i've tested 2/4 spark plugs, and she sounds like she wants to start but doesn't.

Default RE: Bike Don't Start/Fuel Filter

Anyone know how I can check if the fuel filter is good or not?I already have it removed. Could the fuel filter itself keep the bike from starting? My bike only has 10k miles, so I didn't think the filter would get clogged that quickly. Fuel lines don't seem clogged either...

not sure what else to check... already changed the battery andplugs. checked all fuses, relays, bank angle sensor, according to service manual. Fuel pump primes, air filter is clean, no ECM errors, checked for spark (and there is)... [&:]

btw, how long will it take for gas to go bad? the bike was sitting for maybe 2 months, but I started it twice during that time. Kinda late to be asking this question since I could have easily tried this in the beginning, but didn't think of it until now...
