That makes sense to me. I just put in a new pump and it primes when ignition is turned on so I am hoping that's not the problem. I see this photo in the shop manual posted by Scott! ThanksJM2C. For me, step 1 of troubleshooting is to figure out the trouble.
While it is possible that all 4 injectors have failed to a point where none are working, the single point of failure is fuel pump / fuel pressure. Verify your fuel pressure before sending anything out for repair.

I may have worded it strangely in my original post. The bike started running rough, eventually stalled and wouldn't start. I pulled the fuel pump to check it and it had paint chips all over the fuel filter, water in the gas and debris in the tank. I order a brand new fuel pump, replaced it and cleaned out the tank. It continued to not start as it did before I changed the fuel pump.See Scott's post above...... from the service manual.
Remind me.... before the fuel pump replacement the bike ran poorly, but after the replacement it doesn't run at all. Was the 'new' pump brand new, or something you had already?
I would revert to the original pump and see if the original symptoms return. You may have introduced another layer to the problem by installing a questionable pump.

Thank you for all the insight!! This tool is for cleaning carbs i believe! Also I have seen the stubby impact screw driver used on automotive brakes! I believe we have those at work! I was only going to use a vice grip because I was following this post on removing fuel injectors on an R6. Impact screw driver makes much more sense! http://www.proflowtech.com/2012/05/removing-yamaha-r6-injectors/The set I have is easily 25 years old and the tips are "regular", not the JIS tips.
The regular tips should work fine (I wouldn't buy another set of tips((however I am a "tool-a-holic"))
Those screws aren't real big, nor real small, but should pop out with a slight impact...
Off topic a sec but what is this(I use VERY often- NOT on the FZ), what is it??
(NO prize for the correct answer either..):

Awesome, Thank you! I was looking at testing the fuel pressure and I was curious if I need the entire system hooked up(hooked up to the fuel rail etc.) to test it properly or can I just hook pressure up to the tank(pump) outlet?Bing, bing, bing, we have a winner!
Yes, it's a carb jet cleaner. Various sizes for different sized jets.
Ok, back to your issue. Reading that article, those screws are loctited in.
I don't see in the manual what strength they use.
If RED loctite (as used on the FZ' stator-SUPER FRIGGGIN STRONG),
heat was required to break that loctite loose(with an impact tool too)
You may be using large vise grips on them. If buggered up, allen head bolts would would be fine for replacement.
Be careful and good luck.
