Hey guys I dont post much but I am always on here reading and now I have a prob with my baby. I have a 2000 gsxr 600 and I tore it apart so that i could get it painted(will post pics when I get it put back together if I can figure it out lol) and I got all the parts back and started to put it back together and I put the tank back on and plugged it into the wiring harness and the pump started working. The issue here is the key was not in the ignition. I put the key in and turned it on and back off but that did not work the pump just kept on humming. I also noticed at that point that I dont have any lights working anywhere. My guages wont power up or anything. By the way it is a brand new battery lol. I have went through and checked all my connectors and made sure that the are clean and fully put together. I have a wiring diagram for the bike but the print is so small I cant hardly read it. :dunno :banghead Please Help!!!!!!!!!!! Dont know what else to do. Thank you for your help been working on it for 4 hours going to go to bed now but i will check back later today.
dont know what went wrong with my baby

:wtf so then that means your fuel pump is getting direct power from somewhere? Did someone pass the fuel pump relay and hook the fuel pump directly to the battery or some other means of constant power? Sounds like someone would do that in a pinch if say they were riding and the relay went out :dunno but that's how you can tell if your fuel pump is bad, by giving it direct power.....if it doesn't prime up, then it's bad, if it does, then usually the relay is bad. So did someone do that and leave it hook up that way or cross some wires?

Sounds more serious than it actually is, don't worry there are backup systems for every system in those monsters. It's either tap on the box or go get another one out of another bird that has probably been tapped before. :lmaooff topic but... seriously???hmy :facepalm
thank God i'm not a marine!

If the bike was fine before you took it apart then I am guessing you have something hooked up wrong because if the pump did not run continously before then why now? If the wiring was rigged before then you would have had the same problem before. From this schematic, and I am assuming that the difference "claimed by the dealer" will not affect the fuel pump relay to pump section; power must come from the relay. If you unplug the relay and problem still exists, then you have a wiring issue, not sure if there is a plug on the relay where the wires come in, but you can trace that yellow/red wire. It could be somehow contacting a hot wire. Get some isopropal alcahol and spray the fuck out of any dirty wires, it will not hurt electrical parts. I have fixed amplifiers, radios, and "YES" Helicopeter parts and wires with alcahol.:cheers

Check the grounding man. Its easy to forget to connect grounding wires.Usually makes
strange things like this when the ( - ) wires are not connected properly

Yes the bike was tore apart and no plugs were taken apart until this happened. The hot feed going to the fuel pump is coming from a contact in the starter solenoid. Nothing is plugged in wrong because none of the plugs are the same they all have their own home. I am going to try to get a fuel pump relay and try that if that does not work then the only other thing is the cdi. I have checked all the other relays and switches and I did check and make sure the grounds were hooked up lol. Any other ideas?

make sure that the plugs all go into the right ones. i made the same assumption on my bike and found out 3 different plugs all fit each other and all 3 were in the the same general area. i didnt label them, but i remembered how the wire looked and they all found their correct home. i blieve it was the vacuum sensor (?), temp sensor, and something else

ok I checked all the plugs and they are plugged in correctly. I made some jumper leads and verified that relay next to the starter solenoid which i believe is the fuel pump relay is working properly. When power is applied the contact changes state and I verified it with my meter. The one thing that i have found that does not seem right to me is the kick stand switch when tested is reading open no matter whether the kick stand is up or down. I bypassed it by connecting the two wires together and that did not change anything. Any ideas?????

maybe the problem is the switch...take it out and connect the wires at a higher spot....? Connecting it at the switch would yield the same results if the switch is bad.

ok guys found a way to test the turn signal side\stand relay and i found that I did not get the results that the manual said I should so I ordered one. Hopefully this solves my problem!!:dunno lol

Ok no luck with that relay.:hammer I am going to lose my mind here before too long. Anybody out there in the mansfield ohio area that might be able to give me a hand with this. There are two shops other than the dealer and neither of them are known for there electrical troubleshooting abilities. Thanks

this is insanely confusing, I feel you.
The fuel pump is getting constant power...from where? How hard can that be to figure out? grrrrrr
