Make sure the valve coming out of the bottom of the tank has not become partially disconnected. This happened to me just recently and the bike wasn't getting any fuel. I was fiddling with a zip tie and accidentally wiggled it loose.

Agree with YZR , double check the quick release , sometimes when putting it back in the inner o-ring can bind itself , which would obviously cause issues , using a little engine oil can solve that .
