Fuel Pump not coming on

Took my bike apart to paint it. Down to the last things, and I realize my fuel pump isnt coming on when I turn the key on. ( Kill switch in correct position)
I jumped the fuel pump directly to the battery and it comes on.
Is there a fuel pump fuse? What are some things i can trouble shoot? Please help asap. Need my back running by tomorrow for bike night!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Plug your headlight harness back in. There is a BAS (bank angle sensor) attached to the headlight, in the middle on the backside, if it ain't hooked up your bike wont run.

Headlights are hooked up. Is there a fuse or relay I can check?

All of your fuses are located under your driver seat.

There is a fuse for the fuel pump. I cant remember what else that fuse runs, but my friend had the same problem with his F4i. We replaced the fuse and everything worked fine.

I am having the same trouble... Except I haven't had mine apart... It ran the last time that I got on it... Parked it for about a month and when I went to start it today, the pump doesn't prime and when I hit the start button the headlight just goes out and it does nothing... I've checked all my connections and even put di-electric grease on them just to make sure... Guess I'm going to the manual to see if I can trace it down

Put it on a charger overnight and try it the next day, make sure you trickle charge it, not generally a good idea to recharge a dead battery overnight at 10 or more amps.

As for the original question. Check the connections on the two relays that are attached to the right side of the undertail compartment underneath the rear tail fairing. One of them is your Fuel Cut Relay the other is the Engine Stop Relay. You might have unplugged one of the plugs or wires going to those relays when you pulled your tail fairing off. If your fuses are fine and it started fine before you took the fairings off that would be what I'd check next.
