Hi looking for a pointer on what to check,bike just died don't hear fuel pump spinning. Checked fuses .2003 1150 gs
 
Can you give more detail, is the starter turning the motor over as normal? Are there any other symptoms? Are all the normal pre starting lights coming on on the dash? Anything not working. Remote diagnostics is hard enough so a few more clues might help the experts on here to help you.

Fiddle about with the wiring from the ignition switch to the main loom. This is a common failure point. If you get any response from jiggling the cable around you will have found the culprit.

But actually - what The Grey One said...
 
Is there any power? Does it seem OK until you try and crank it when everything dies? Check battery terminals, I had that problem on my 1150.
 
I had exactly same thing last year - one of the spade connectors had come off the fuel pump (inside the tank)...
 
Thanks for the suggestions,the bike is now at a dealers ,there was one 7km away.I suspect the fuel pump,all electrics were normal but the pump wouldn't prime.Will find out shortly when I get back there.

That was lucky. Unfortunate to have problems, but lucky with a dealer so close. Good luck. :thumb2
