The system relay contacts make and 12 V goes to the Fuel Pump, ACR, Coils, O2 sensors and fuel injectors. When you turn the switch to run you should hear the fuel pump run for 3 seconds. You could pull the system relay and see if you have 12 V on the W/BK wire when you have the ignition on and stop/run switch to run, (this is the power to the coil). If you have 12 V to the coil can you feel the relay contacts make? You could pull the fuel pump fuse and see if you have 12V to one side and check the fuse again. The lighting relay or start relay may be the same as the system relay and you could swap it out to see if the relay is bad.

Good Luck

Default Update!!!

For all who may have been wondering what was the outcome of the issues I was having with my bike. After the repeated assistance from dedicated members on this forum, and their assistance leading to the only possible source that could have been causing my problems, they were absolutely correct. It was the ECM. After replacement and $465..the bike was repaired. Sorry for the delayed update. Life's measures sometimes get in the way....
