Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie. I bought a brand new lifan xpect because I thought it'd be a good bike to learn on. I put the handlebars together, put fresh oil and gas in it, and charged the battery. I started it up and it sounded fine the first day. Next day went out and tried to start it, and it won't start. The orange check engine light is on too. Since this is my first bike, I haven't learned much about how to work on it yet. My dad showed me how to check the spark plug (I'm getting spark). Sprayed starting fluid into it and it does start for a minute and then stops. So I don't think it's the engine. It appears that I'm not getting fuel and I'm not sure why (the valve is open).

I also see that there is a diagnostic plug (the red one). Does anybody know if there is a reader for sale that I can buy to help me figure out what is wrong.

Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.
