Default fuel pressure / pump???????

posting this in addition to my "need help" post as its more specific. having problem with bike and i changed fuel filter-still have problem. but it dawned on me this morning that we encountered no fuel pressure when we pulled the module from the tank. we went thru no procedure to release pressure before we pulled the hose and encountered none.

does this point to bad pump??? is there a way to check fuel pressure??

You should have had to release pressure from the system. That does sound suspicious.
