I've found the root of the problem, not the fuel pump or relay, but the wiring that goes to the pump via the low fuel level sensor. There is no power getting through the positive lead with no obvious break in the wiring, so I guess I will have to replace the complete unit.

My first Italian bike and I get an electrics problem! :-) A bit Ironic but the last time a vehicle let me down it was Italian! A Lancia about 13 years ago!

In case this is useful to anyone else in the future, I replaced the fuel level sensor with intergrated wiring for the fuel pump, bolted it all back together and I'm up and running again! :-)

Sorry about the long delay before replying, SMT, I've been away on holiday for a week.

Nice bit of info with the fuel level sensor upgrade. A number of us have had 'similar' problems with fuelling, so the more we can add to the list of things to check the better.

Happy riding,

bambam.
