but the fuel pump is running
Mine was running too at first. It began intermittent. I was on vacation for 2 weeks. It started towards the end of vacation. I began noticing that it would die and then when I truned on the key sometimes the fuel pump would run for shorter times or not at all. Cycle the key a couple of times and it would work again. Then sometimes it would run and then when you got on it the engine would act like it was starving for fuel. The bad part for me was that I was entered into a HS race that last weekend. It stalled on me a few times during practice and finally died. Had to have the tow of shame back to trailer..
Kawi is saying that the Gunnar kill switch I installed that week is the culprit. The mechanic there states that he feels it was "adding voltage" to the system and burnt out the relay. I don't agree but once I get it back I will dive further into that. It is connected as Gunnar instructed and I cannot see where there is any way that it could be adding / bleeding extra voltage. It may be possible that the switch is bad and is adding resistance that in turn are driving up the amps which may have burnt out the relay. Will let you know what I find.
Just a note... i have only owned the bike about 7 weeks. Bought it new and it is an 08.
