When you turn the ignition switch to "on" you should hear the fuel pump winding up. If you turn it on and hear nothing, pull the seat off and look for the white in-line fuse there. That will be the fuel pump fuse. It may be blown. You could have a spare on your bike behind one of the side covers. They just pull off by hand.
The buzz you hear on the right side when you turn off the ignition switch is the throttle position sensor moving back in. That's normal.

Yes, this is definitely going to happen in the foreseeable future. Dont want to lose my cruise control but the trade off will be worth it i think.

Try to disconnect the fuel line form the tank. It is a QD so pull on the collar like you do an air hose. Remove and note if it seems to have presure, replace and try to cycle the ignition. If it had pressure the pump will not cycle. If you lost some in the fuel line R&R you should hear the pump when you cycle the ignition switch.

Just went through the same on an 01. We removed the entire MM setup and went with an S&S VFI. Starts and runs awesome every time. Worth looking into. http://www.sscycle.com/product/VFI-M...it-p22990.html
