Ok-- first up I would try the cheapest and easiest troubleshooting before anything else. This may sound silly but stranger things have happened.
I suggest you clear the DTC's, turn off the ignition and pull the main fuse or disconnect the battery for 10-20 minutes or so to let anything you may have done to the electronic system to reset after this happened.
While waiting take a screwdriver handle and gently tap all the relays you can find to see if one is sticking. After waiting reconnect the power and try another start.
If it does fire and return to normal I too would consider a quick oil change due to possible fuel dilution.
If no start take it to the dealer and test your warranty..... It does have the sound of a failed injector though at the end of the day.

If it is not under warranty you can do a check of the injector by removing each injector (remove from manifold and hook it back up to the fuel line and electrical connector) and and try to start the bike. The injector should spray in a fan pattern off and on in quick succession. Ensure the spray is away from your face or ignition source! If fuel dribbles out continuously the injector is either clogged or the solenoid valve is stuck.
