Troubleshooting help - bike isn't starting but also hasn't been ridden in a yr

hello hello - haven't visited the forums in a while, glad to see they are still active!

I haven't ridden my bike in a while (>yr) thanks to a variety of reasons. Anyhow, It's been sitting in the garage on a tender all this time, but when I went to start it yesterday, it sounds like the battery is good, starter is good, but the motor is not catching.

I'm guessing this means either I have a clog in my fuel delivery or the spark plug is not great. If I had to bet, I'd be betting on the fuel. Looked in the tank, it doesn't look sludgy, but I'm not sure if it was going to gel if it would gel at the bottom first.

Not sure if I should siphon the tank and refuel with fresh and see if that takes care of it or if I should plan to siphon, change the fuel filter....and possibly the injector - given how sticky the gas cap latch was, I'm guessing the injector might be gummed.

Thoughts?
