Hey does anyone know if the fuel pump is suppose to stay running when the key is turned on? Mine seems to stay running all the time wouldnt that flood it out if i didnt start it fast enough? What would cause this problom? Thanks everyone I am new to this forum and so fareverybody has been great at responding to my question

 

It should cut off after the prime, 2 secs maybe. Think the previous owner straight wired it?? It shouldn't flood because the injection isn't functioning but whether or not it will damage the pump and/or reg I am not sure. How often do you have the key on/ not running? What would be a problem is in the case of a tipover or crash the pump would continue to run andadd fuelto the fire, no pun intended, LOL.

 

Well i forgot to add that when i got the bike the battery was very low and would not start i put it on the charger for about a hour and cleaned the plugs and it fired right up but after sitting a few days it turned over not as quick as it and now will not sart again would a low battery cause that? Well it is good to know that the fuel pump staying on is not effecting it but i will have to try to figure out if it is hard wired
