Blocked fuel filter??
Just a thought.

I'll go over all the connectors tomorrow. Don't think it's a blocked filter as this was renewed this year, and the pump is just dead as a dodo, makes no noise at all.
I was hoping someone would tell me which relays control the pump and where they're at?
Yes, the repairs are down to the recovery company, but the point is, it shouldn't have happened, and I just know it's gonne be the usual fight with them / insurance companies / muppets / phones on hold for ages / no one calling me back / palm offs / high blood pressure etc etc etc! Aarrgghh!

The fuses for the injection and fuel pump are under the seat unit next to the rear light.You will see two relays,both with 15A fuses.Check both fuses.You can also swap the relays round,as they are the same.

if all else fails check your eprom is still fitting snug. as they sit upside down they can come loose, especially if you have replaced it. this happened to me and i had my bike in a million bits on the side of the road before giving up in disgust! after being told to check mine and indeed finding this to be the problem i glued some foam to the inside of the lid to apply a little pressure to the eprom, no problems since.
cheers,
paul.

9 times out of 10 its the fuel pump relay for that snag. Ive went through 2 in a year. Put a good blob of silicone over the new one to stop the water getting in (if it is is that)

Only 2 Davie?-I went through 5 in one holiday on the ST4S, they all overheated-hot enough to burn your fingers-we never did manage to find out what was causing it so chopped the relay fitting out and replaced with nice beefy 888 one-hasn't given a moments trouble since.
