Trey disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. I am a little unclear on exactly what is happening due to the way it is explained. Is the check engine light staying on all the time or just a few seconds after startup? From what I understand the bike is running?

The contact within relay may have welded itself closed, causing the old battery to die, so now you have a new battery providing new power, did you replace the relay?

Ooohhh... maybe a good catch! Good one!

The fuel pump shouldn't work unless the ECM tells it to, right? That would mean that there would have to be a hot short to the fuel pump. I think that is the ONLY way the pump could come on. It would also have to be on the pump side of the relay (he says without looking at a wiring diagram).

You would have to be getting power to the relay from some other source. I can't say if the fuse is before or after the ECM. I would have to look at the correct wiring diagram to tell you how to diagnose where the power is coming from... sorry.
