Fuel pump not coming on.

hello just when i throught everything was ok turn the ignition on and the fuel pump did not come on. On the dash the red light is on and says check,I HAVE CHECKED THE KILL SWITCH. Im gessing its because ive liffted the tank up to replace the spark plugs but have checked the electrical connectors around the tank area, so and help would be much apresiated thanks, Dom

there's a connector which stops it from priming on the right hand side as you sit on the bike, check it as it's what happened to my bike

not in gear with the sidestand down is it?

Ever heard the expression "Disaster waiting for a place to happen" You most definitely don't have the best of luck.

Sorry just your posts are all problems so far and I have a warped sense of humour------------GOOD LUCK with your repairs

The "CHEC" warning only displays for a number of reasons (those that I can think of are as follows):

1. Kill switch (even though you've checked it, it could be faulty).
2. Side stand switch & gear sensor combination - ie. in gear with the side stand down. If you're definitely not in gear, bypass the switch to see if this is faulty.
3. Tip sensor (on the K6 this is located just next to the battery).

I've a 2003 SV650 with a fuel pump problem. When you try to start it, the red FI comes on. There is no pump whine, but the bike cranks. I've checked the fuses, cleaned the kill-switch and all the connections I can find, including the sidestand, key barrel and TOS, but still nothing. It sounds like a bad fuel pump, but I tried dealer-mode, and got a C00 code.
I'm stumped - any suggestions?
