Riding bike last night and it cut off at intersection. Symptions of dead battery. Not enough juice to turn motor over. Bike had been setting before this and battery was low. High beams, heated grips and 30 minutes of idiling in traffic did it in.
Any way, jumped bike to restart it with auto and didn't notice the fuel pump coming on. After trailering bike home and putting it on Trickle charger it still has no fuel pump noise when turning bike over.
Instrument panel is good, bike turns overs fine but has no fuel pump.
I will search the forum for info.
Is there a fuse for the fuel pump? Since the bike turns over I think the kill switch, side stand or bank sensor would be fine.
Appreciate any input.

"jumped bike to restart it"

My first guess would be the fuse. I believe the fuse panel is on the right front area below the instrument panel. Have a look there first?

Wonder if jumping the bike messed up some electronics. ??

Well I got the bike running. The 30 amp fuse was blown. I replace it and it fired right up. The fuse block showed evidence of heat problems. When I got bike running the brown wire to the fuse is really hot. To the point you can not touch it.
More issues i guess.
