Default Bike won't start

I just rode it 2 days ago and it ran great I try to start it up today and the bike turned over but it won't run.My bro washed it while I was gone and that's the only thing that has been done to it since last time I rode.I checked all the electrical connections for water,checked all fuses and relays,I even went as far as draining the gas and putting in new just incase I got bad gas.Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?Thanks in advance.By the way it's an 02' F4i.

when you say it turns over? do you mean it cranks, does it ever get started? does it start, and then die when you put it in gear?

easy solution = make sure your kickstand isn't down

****ty solution = make sure the tipover sensor isn't disconnected or damaged [:@] (maybe he washed it after he dropped it)

If he washed it, is is possible that water entered the air filter assembly through the front fairing. I usually stuff something in my pipe and those air ducts to prevent any water entering places it shouldn't be. Possible hydro-lock?

Well,They found water in the fuel rail.They think it got in the gas through a bad seal on the gas cap.Now I'm $400 in the hole because of a little water.Oh well,lesson learned.
