ok then theres your problem, no fuel, check all the fuses, they r under the front seat kinda behind the battery
if they r all good try to bypass your bas

Why is it that when someone mentions their fuel pump not priming that everyone immediately jumps to "bypass your BAS." I'm sorry... but the last thing you want to do when troubleshooting is jump to a conclusion and start bypassing safeties.

Check your killswitch... Check the main harness under the left side fairing.
