I agree with Kelly that its highly improbable unless your jets were gummed up before. How was the bike running when you parked it? The jets on these things are tiny but at the very least I would think it would try to start if they were slightly gummed (only been 2 weeks). In your vid your bike doesn't even make an attempt...Engine needs compression, spark (at the right time), and correct air/fuel mixture. Spark sounds like its there (backfire), I assume you have good compression....clogged petcock/inline fuel filter (if you have one)?
