So one morning my bike just decided to not fire. The starter motor turns and it growls like it wants to start but won't, almost like the plugs aren't sparking.

Here's what I've tried:

Checked spark on the plugs by holding up against frame, everything sparks nicely.

Sniffed the exhaust, and can smell petrol after turning the starter motor over.

Taken off and reseated the airbox and throttle bodies. All in line and all hoses and clips are connected..

Charged the battery fully over a day or two and tried again with a good kick from the battery, still no life.

Can anyone shed any light?! It all seems like everything is perfect to look at. I have spark and fuel. And nothing happened to make it happen that I'm aware of, I rode it into the garage one night and then the morning after just nothing
