Hey guys. I've had this bike for a few years now and it's been great, with only a sprag clutch issue. Now with crappy weather it sat a few weeks and I went to start it, but the battery was weak. So I put my charger on it for a couple of days, went to start it today and the fuel pump won't prime. It cranks and cranks but won't start. Is there a fuse that I can check or something? Normally I turn the key and you can hear it prime. Now you don't hear anything.
 
hi I hae an 07 that I just bought...it started a few times then I let it sit for 4 days and it would click....I hooked up the battery tender for a few hours then when it started it reved high then died... both my low beam lites went out.... I put a car jumper on it and it fired and idled good.... went to cycle gear got a battery then to autozone for headlites through it in the bike went for a ride wih no issues since,,,, try a battery??
 
Battery is strong. Cranks strong. My issue seems to be the fuel pump does not prime when turning the key. Normally when turning the key, you can hear it prime. But it no longer does that. It will crank and crank but not start. It's not getting fuel (and/or spark).
 
Just want to know if there's a fuse block or relay that I can check. I'm a car guy that rides, don't really work on my bike.
 
Don't ask me why but this works on mine. There are two green (30A?) fuses under the riders seat. If I take them out and then just put them back in; the bike starts. Gods only knows why but it works for me. Worth a try.
