Default What wrong? Don’t think it is getting fuel?

Hey guys/girls

I need your help!

I can’t get my sv650s k5 to start.

I have had it in storage for 2 years, because my economy didn’t allow it.

The battery was dead so I changed it, and I also changed the fuses.

The display says check but there is no humming from the fuel pump when I turn the key.

What could be the reason why the fuel pump isn’t pumping?

No it cant`t be that, because the starter cranks the engine.

Is it NOT possible to upload a video?

Gummed up fuel pump from stale fuel?

I'd lift the tank and take the Air Filter cover off and spray some Carb/Brake cleaner into the intakes whilst cranking to see if you can get it to fire up.

Then if you can get it to fire up put at least half a 250ml Bottle of Redex Fuel treatment or similar into the tank,so long as it's got plenty of fuel in there and give the engine a good run.Then it will need a general good service.

With the bike having been stood so long I would also put aside an evening or Afternoon and pull apart every electrical connector(Especially the Main Stator Connector near the R/R) and check and remove corrosion and treat with Switch cleaner and then ACF50,

I do this to all my Motorcycles.
