01 f4i fuel pump not priming
So my bike has been running fine up to this point. I tried riding it today and went to start it and the fuel pump doesn't prime. I'm new to working on this bike so I am learning as I am going. I wired the fuel pump up to the battery to see if it was bad or not and it runs fine when connected to direct power source. when i turn the ignition key all of the gauges move and light up but the headlight does not turn on which i know means something (BAS sensor) any help would be much appreciated. also i do not know where any of the sensors or relays are that you guys talk about so when you talk about one of them can you let me know where to find them on the bike. Thanks!

Could be the bulb connection is loose. It'll run as long as there's a connection even if it's burnt out.
I'd check all wiring harnesses and double check to make sure there's nothing grounding out. Also check the kill switch and kick stand switch.
Kind of the same thing that happened to me, and I never found my problem, but after disconnecting/reconnecting everything in the front end the problem went away.

Iv had my headlight off and bike still starts and runs even with out bulbs. I'm willing to bet its you BAS. Just take the windscreen off and jump that. its semi common for them to go bad. i know mine was. If you jump it and everything is fine, leave it jumped (do a good clean job and make a proper jump wire), and put it back together, or replace the BAS.

Ok so i am super frustrated now. i by passed the BAS sensor or what i thought was the BAS sensor and still nothing. Then i went through all of the bikes connectors and cleaned them with contact cleaner. i also disconnected the battery and the cpu. STILL NOTHING. i have no idea what do. Some one help me before i kick over my bike. PLEASE HELP. thanks

Fuses? I know you jumped the fuel pump directly to the battery, so you would have bypassed those. Leave it all connected correctly and check the voltage at the fuel pump with the key turned on (not sure what it's supposed to be, but there's a manual around here somewhere)
I'm leaning towards a short somewhere. If I can find them, I might have some spare bulbs I can send you, just not sure where they are since I moved a few months ago.
