Hello, I got an 06 Max. Love it!
Had a similar issue last year after sitting through the worse part of winter. After tapping on the fuel pump relay and checking all connections and talking with Sean thought maybe it was a bad relay. I tapped on fuel pump relay one more time and bike started right up, ran great all summer and fall.
Did the same thing this year after winter. The bike is garaged and covered when not in use. The bike is well maintained and have found no corrosion issues.
Going by my previous issue I got a used fuel pump relay (can't seem to find a new one or a replacement, does anyone know where to get new?)
Replaced relay but still having same issue.
The bike turns over fine. When turning the key on you immediately hear the Vboost slide sound, then nothing. Previously you would hear the Vboost sound then 2-3 clicks from the fuel pump.
I tried the fuel reserve switch in different positions. All indicator lights are working fine. If I apply power directly to the fuel pump it works fine. The bike actually starts right up for a few seconds when I power the pump up briefly.
I have verified power to the relay. I have checked the wire from fuel pump relay connector to fuel pump connector and wire checks fine.
I have been talking with Sean, He's great. He is actually sending me some parts to swap out and see if I can figure out what is bad.
While waiting for the parts to arrive I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and what they might have found?
I got the parts from Sean today. It’s definitely not a bad fuel pump relay. Just installed a 3rd relay and still fuel pump not getting power past relay.
As I understand it wouldn’t be a kill switch issue?? as the bike turns over and starts for a few seconds if I put power direct to pump and put a little fuel in the carbs.
