Got Kates bike out yesterday to do some bits and bobs to it and it wouldn't start. Thought it was probably down to dead fuel as it's been parked up since January so filled it up. Yesterday afternoon I noticed that the fuel pump wasn't actually arming. I now have 4 probable causes:

1. Datatool System 3 - I think this immobilises the fuel pump in which case it is my No1. suspect

2. Tilt switch - It's possible this has gone kaput but I doubt it.

3. Sidestand switch - Also possible but unlikely.

4. Fuel pump - Again, this is possible but I think it's the least likely.

So. How do I test/bypass each of the above causes so that I can fix the problem?

Regards
