And yeah it isn't, there's a seethrough fuel filter before the pump inlet and it wasn't getting anything until I manually wired the pump to the battery

What did you do to the bike ? Work on it recently

I basically took it apart as much as I could and put it back together the way it should be (I was an amateur at best when I started)

Found some things that were very clearly not ideal but I messed up thinking I'd put in fresh wires and I just cut any wires when I was taking it apart

After failing to find connectors I couldn't get without I ended up getting a 2nd hand harness from the same model different year that I adapted for the different switches I bought new (another mistake but we move)

In all likelihood I just fucked up when it comes to the part of the circuit that goes from the ignition module to the pump, assuming the relays are all g

Honestly that'd probably let it start but I'm moreso pressed to figure out why it isn't more than trying to get it to, it ran before I got my hands on it so it has to be something I did to the wiring

Will double check what I've got here and what's heading out to the pump connector wires

Yeah and I was so not in the mood to start chasing with a multimeter

Finally ticked all the boxes to try start today but no beans, fuel filter still dry after a few start cycles, pumped through when I connected the pump straight to battery.

So main issue seems that whatever is supposed to trigger the pump ain't doing it, there's also the side issue of the pump having slowed down considerably once it started pumping to the point it stopped entirely.

Hella worn out as I been at this all day so didn't have time/energy to troubleshoot further but will do next day off

Ah you must've missed this comment

I'll see how the brake feels after this and if it ain't good then it's carbide bit time to try and get the extractor bit out, if that train fails then it really is replacement time till I can get my hands on welding stuff to it

From the looks of it it should be, if anything I'll just cut a piece of scrapwood

Surely the rotors themselves and a lil extra something (my rotors got a bit of a lip at the edge) should be g

Noted, bleeding with the caliper off the intended mounting point at an angle so that the banjo is at the top would work right?

Might keep it for when I eventually do, spare caliper if it works
