That would be my first guess. Is it the same one on there as when you bought the bike?

bad battery will cause lots of problems also... check the voltage on it!

Could be the line inside the tank that connects to the fuel pump. Mine got a pin size hole in it a while back and when the gas in the tank got below the fuel line level it ran weird.

Do you hear the whir of the fuel pump prior to starting attempts?

Did you pull the fuel pump fuse when you removed the tank and forget to put it back in?

Is it cranking over fast enough to start if it was getting fuel?

Spark plug wires firmly attached? How old are your plugs?
