Default 2009 Deluxe

Changed fuel pump as all the lines were rotted. Literally just fell apart in the tank.
However it still does not start.
I have checked that it does indeed pump, pulled the injectors and tested and they are fine.
I’m hearing a little motor sound and a light tapping noise coming from the throttle body area and can not seem to pin point it. Anyone know what this might be?

Thanks in advance

Check the idle air control valve (IACV) near the throttle body it might be the source of the motor and tapping sounds. Also, verify the fuel pressure regulator and ensure the ECU isn’t throwing any codes. If all else fails, inspect the throttle position sensor (TPS) or wiring issues in that area.

Maybe this may help. It's a different bike but parts should be close.

Thanks, I believe it’s the IAC valve. Ordered one and will be here Tuesday.
Thanks a lot!!
