No start, FI light on

The SD (07) hasn't been started in a while, things warmed up a bit today and I thought I would let it run for a while.

It stays on a Battery Tender over the winter, in a dry, unheated garage.
Turn the key on, get all the right lights and sounds, press start button and the bike cranks but won't start.

Cranking speed is good. Tried it a few more time and it fired for just a couple seconds then back to just cranking.

Then the FI light came on, and it didn't fire any more.

I have not done a thing to the bike over the winter. Usually start it every couple weeks but I was out of town for a bit and then the temps were below zero so I just let it sit.

Key on, needle sweeps, oil and N lights come on. You can hear the fuel pump cycle.
There is about a gallon of gas in it, the gas was treated with Stabil when I parked the bike.

Ideas?
BGC?
First ditch the gas and try again.
two moisture in BGC?
Tomorrow I'll pull the tank (yuck) check the BGC and refill with a gallon of fresh 93 octane I guess.
