2008 Sportsman 500 EFI will not start

I was riding tonight and it just died and will not restart. It will crank but will not fire. Does anyone have any suggestions?

make sure it has gas in it, check the spark plug to see if it fouled, replace the spark plug

left handlebar says run - stop, try a new plug and if it fixes it get it re-mapped at the dealer cause its runnin to rich and fouled the plug.

Thanks for the ideas. I am going over now to pull the plug and check for spark. It was not the kill switch.
