Just bought a 2009 FZ6 from my son that sat for several months. The bike has only 6,370 miles and it was running when it was initially stored in the garage. When I got it home I cleaned the tank and replaced the fuel. The bike would not start; although, it cranked vigorously (battery > 12.6v). This is what I checked and results: after replacing blown IGN fuse, the voltage from Starter relay to IGN fuse--12v; voltage from fuse to Cut-Off relay (Red wire)--12v; voltage from Red wire at Cut-Off relay to Red/Blue at Cut-Off relay--12v; voltage from Red/Blue at Cut-Off to Pump Red/Blue--0v; voltage from relay Red/Blue and ground with ignition on--0v. Additionally, there is continuity between the Red/Blue at the relay and the Red/Blue at the pump. During the testing process, the EFI fuse blew; I replaced the Cut-Off relay. Lastly, I can hear the starter relay "click" when starter engages, but I can't hear or feel the fuel pump running. The bike is showing no codes.
I want to conclude the pump could be operational and I have a relay issue, but I'm still not sure. The tank was corroded and may have caused some issues with the pump. I have not taken the pump out of the tank yet, but that may be on my list soon. Any thoughts on where to go from here? I saw a reference to the fuel pump/injector relay being open with no volts at the Red/Blue wire in the Cut-Off relay, but I don't know how to find it or check it.
Sorry to start another "Won't Start" thread, but I'm about 'out of Schlitz' and I'd like to get the bike running before winter in Virginia.
Tnx, Bob
