Turns out it indeed was water in the tank, I added a hose to the base of the fuel pump nozzle and turned on the fuel pump by putting the ignition in ON and what came out was a clear mixture of fuel and NOT fuel. So I emptied all the contents of the tank as Tabasco suggested, filled it with fresh fuel and some seafoam. And after craning the ignition for 8 to 10 seconds the bike came on at the second attempt.
Engine is coming on without any issue now. Hooray for that.
I can't tell if it is my paranoia or not but I am hearing some sort of noise which seems to be coming from near the cylinder, also, I never paid close attention so can't tell if it is something that was already there and I am just now paying more attention to it.
@~TABASCO~ Any potential long term effects of having watery fuel in my engine overnight? Initially the water was in the tank only for a day which only reached the engine when I took it out for ride yesterday but since yesterday it was in the cylinder as well.
**fingers crossed that the answer is no**
Can anybody tell me what that Seafoam is and what is does. Google doesnt show any motorcycle related products.
Thanks,
Stefan

I believe that pumps each have an individual water separator/filter....possible that your pump's filter/separator was full?My suspicion was it came from the gas pump, but my buddy filled at the same station (different pump) and no water in his tank.
looking at the site, 1oz per gallon, so say you fill roughly 3-4 gallons every fill thats add 3-4oz every time can i ask would you do this every fill or leave it every fews months to doSea Foam | Makers of Sea Foam Motor Treatment & Other Engine Products
