Injectors can bleed a little bit of fuel overnight, the pump goes on for a few seconds when the key is first turned on to fill the fuel line to the injectors to prime it so it starts instantly.
At this point I would take the pump out and see if the actual pump can be freed up if it is locked up. As fuel pump failures are extremely rare as Popgun says, I'm curious how long that tank of gas actually sat in the bike. Could it be years?
That also brings up the question of the injectors possibly also being clogged.
