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.

Excellent, thanks. Some more stuff to try. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, i'll let you know what it was in the end.
