2009 SV650s

[Guamsv650]

Hi all, I am new here. I picked up a 2009 SV650s for $50. I couldnt pass up this deal. The bike has been sitting for about 4 years.

Took the bike home and purchased a new battery. Turned the key ON and saw that the bike has 2000 miles. Tried to crank it and it will turn over, but will not start.

Days later I have cleaned out the tank which had so much rust and gunk. I also installed a new fuel pump. Now it does not prime at all.

I have sprayed starter fluid and the bike will start for a second and shut off. What are some things to look out for?

*This is my second bike. My main bike is a 2015 Zx6r that I stunt.

I'm guessing you checked the spark plug already

I am having trouble uploading the pictures of the sv650 I picked up.

The pump does not prime. No fuel is going through. I have checked the relay and fuel pump fuse and it is good.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I’d be inclined to check all the electrical connector blocks, clean and dowse them in switch cleaner and a little ACF50. I’mrubbish with electrics but I would also make sure you have power at the pump.
If the tank was full of corrosion, clean any fuel line filters if fitted, and get the carbs off and clean them out.
Let us know how you get on.

Incidentally, the forums native image upload doesn’t work. Upload any pictures to an image host like Flickr or imgur first then paste the BB code into your post.

Thank you.

I have power at the pump as well as the relay and fuel pump fuse. I am thinking to check the killswitch at the right handlebar and maybe the side stand switch?

[garynortheast]

Killswitch, clutch switch and side stand switch are all worth checking and cleaning.

[Guamsv650]

Kill switch seems fine. Upon switching the killswitch to on/off the butterflies will move, but the pump is still inactive.

I'm not 100% sure on how to bypass the clutch switch but I think I have the idea to bypass the side stand switch. I will just jump the wires together

[garynortheast]

Try dousing both clutch and side stand switch in switch cleaner first. There are small openings in both which will allow you to squirt cleaner in using an aerosol straw.

Thank you kind sir. I will try that and report back!

Tried bypassing the side stand switch and clutch switch. Fuel pump still does not prime.

Put it into dealer mode and no errors.
Battery is fully charged and fuel pump is brand new.
Killswitch contacts is cleaned.
Tip sensor is positioned correctly.
