Bike running perfectly sweetly.
Parked up for 2 days... come to restart and there is no fuel pump hum.
Battery not brilliant, so on charge all day.
Try this evening, lights bright, still no fuel pump hum, but bike spins very rapidly, so plenty of electrons available to really whizz the starter motor.
Scratch head, check fuses. All fuses fine - checked by eye but also with a buzzer tester. Fuel pump is number 6, that fuse swapped with the other red one - still no fuel pump hum.
Can a fuel pump really fail while it is switched off? Working perfectly , then next time to fire up just fail completely... is that a common thing with them, or do they normally fade away with a bit of warning? Trouble is there is 28 litres of fuel in the damn tank, because I fuelled up just before getting home last time and the petrol pump is only about 800 yards from home! Typical.
Ignition switch is fine - all functions are fine with that.
What would your bets be on guys?
