    Hey VFR peeps,

    Looking for help. The bike will turn over strong but is not getting fuel. I recently had to fix the BAS wiring as the connectors melted so I removed the connector and spliced in directly. The bike was running well until the BAS wire melted so I figured that was the only issue. The bike died while riding. As you will see and hear in the video, something else is strange. When I turn OFF the kill switch and hold down the start button, you can hear what sounds to me like the fuel pump. It did this 4 times and will not do it anymore. The “pump” sound was only while I held down the start button but again, it’s not doing that now…

    I’ll take any and all advice/comments with appreciation. TIA!

    Troubleshooting steps so far;

    it’s worth noting, that before I spliced/soldered the BAS, I bypassed it and it would still not start.

    1) fixed BAS wiring
    2) cleaned kill switch button with CRC electronic cleaner, 3 times.
    3) checked all fuses are OK
    4) made sure all connections under fuel tank are secure
    5) the R/R and Stator were
    replaced within the past year.
    6) kickstand up or down, doesn’t make a difference
    7) brand new battery today

    pull a plug wire to check for a spark first to discover whether its electrick or fuel. plenty of fuel in tank of course.........?
