My mate washed his bike and it won't start

My mate washed his bike (Aprilia Millie 600) this morning and now it won't start. Dried and cleaned spark plugs and used a hair-drier on the coil but still not trying at all. It's getting a spark and it's getting fuel so what could the problem be?

fuel

try the sidestand switch as well. and starter solenoid???
does it turn over?
could be he's got water in the breather from the tank so no fuel can get out (no air can get in)

ECU connector.
Undo the connector and dry it with dielectric contact cleaner.

And don't use a jet washer.

Just a guess.....

My son did the very same thing with my Fire Blade and a power washer, turns out id left the keys in the ignition and the Alarm fob had gotten water in it!
