to check if your pump is bad, run two wires off of your battery directly to the pump to see if it kicks on. if it does, check your relays and replace your fuse regardless of how it looks.

my friend ignition went bad on his f4i and put a f4 ignition on it and it would crank but not start, and the fuel pump wouldn't come on either

Re: fuel pump aint priming

same problem was happening to me and sometimes the bike would start and 10 minutes later midwheelie it would cut out on me. there are a few relays in the tail section, engine start, engine stop? i forget what they are called. but one of them was the problem and i had to replace it. also sometimes the wires can come out. i have never had a fuel pump go bad on me.
