How are you checking the fuel pump fuse? It only gets power for three seconds upon initial power up and then not again until after engine is running. If you are turning power on and checking it after 3 seconds has passed there wont be power there.
Pull the fuse and see if it open or closed. If it is open, replace it. If it is good then check power to it during the 3 seconds.
If you have power at the load side of the fuse during the 3 seconds, then check at the pump or apply power separately to the pump to see if it is bad.
If fuse is good and no power to it during the initial power up check the fuel pump relay, you can swap with another like relay or just jump it and see if pump runs.

I would normally check a fuse by pulling it and putting an ohm meter across it to see if it is blown (open). If you replaced it and you know it is good then I would go for the relay.
Pretty sure the fuel pump relay is labeled system relay and is the one right next to the fuel pump fuse. Try giving it a good tap, if ng then try swapping it or jumping the contacts and see if the pump runs.

s76helipilot... I rechecked the fuse. I turned the ignition switch to on. Had my wife depress the run/off switch to run and I immediately checked the voltage. This time the voltage went to .65 (0.06 earlier) I rechecked it again and the voltage was the same. Is this the method you would recommend when checking the fuse for the fuel pump? Also, brand new fuse as well. This is strange. Everything was fine when I parked the bike...
