1997 1100GS. Heading through Montenegro, bike running sweet as ever, I stopped to do something with the Zumo, but when I went to restart the motor it was a no go.
Fuel pump not priming. Side stand switch OK, fuse OK, think relay is OK.
Don't think power is getting to pump - put a test bulb on brown wire to the plug under the tank to earth, it didn't light.
This is pretty much exactly what happened a while back (an easier to sort 4 miles from home) which was fixed with a new HES from Motobins.
I would have expected even a pattern part to last longer than a year, so is there anything else I should look for, and how can I test the fuel pump.
Was bloody luck to get off the road last night, a KTM riding local sorted us a lift to Podgorica, the capital. Bike is at BMW main dealer, but of course they haven't a clue. Gonna try to move it to another dealer, but would like ideas as they may be just as much in the dark.
All help much appreciated.
Do I buy a newer bike????
