Ok starting issues still occuring. fuel pump was faulty. new one does the priming sound.

Things to check......

Does it send fuel down the hose to the throttle bodies?
Are the throttle bodies clogged? (can they be cleaned?)
Do the spark plugs 'blue' spark?
Is the immobiliser/alarm fookt?
Is the ECM fookt (i hope not)

The bike makes all the right sounds, when you press the starter motor it 'turns' over ..... it's just not kicking in!
ps when the bike turns over and i turn the throttle slightly the engine turns over quicker when trying to start, not sure what that proves!
