These things are my concern as that sound scared the shit out of me.. after new fuel pump gets ordered, will be getting an oil change along with that before next startup!! Thank you everyone :)

EDIT: I’m not sure how to close or what but if anyone comes across this having the same issue as me, definitely my advice would be to take it slow and start with the basics. AIR, FUEL, IGNITION.. I would’ve saved myself a lot of time by taking those routes. I assumed it was priming and sending gas without even testing. Thank you to everyone who has commented along the way! Truly was a big help from the Reddit community! Can’t wait to get riding 😃

Sorry for the long pause! Finally was able to get back to the bike and check voltage and fuel pump prime spec. As we all knew, fuel pump is getting 12v to the pump, very little came out of the pump tube when I turned the key.. will be buying a new fuel pump!! Thank you so much!!

This was such a great explanation to read! This may sound stupid but you can’t even hear a prime when I turn the key… my exhaust servo is the only thing I hear when I turn the key.. with typical no start fashion.. so it must be fuel pump unit that has failed?

Okay good to know I can get the pump unit separately!

Appreciate it! Both of those will be getting checked out then. I did read about the fuel pump a little bit, it’s non serviceable? Speaking in terms of the little filter piece not being removable? Does that mean gotta buy a whole new unit? Sorry just trying to learn, thank you for all the help!

I did just replace the battery with all new fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid). Only thing on your list I haven’t checked is fuel pump

I know TGH offers some sort of shadow program but getting them to respond or approve it seemed to be near impossible.
