Won't prime and/or start
#11
Hey i have a 01 f4i, after a ride the other day when i was going to return home, i turned the key and noticed the fuel pump didn't prime, and the engine would try to turn over and would start, but once i released the starter button the engine would die.....
Now the bike never doesn't start, all the dash lights work, but i noticed the headlights, and the front turn signals don't work and doesn't prime......any ideas?

One more symptom to add ... even if I keep it running by holding the start button, it'll shut off again when I use the turn signal.
Please help!!!

I'd like to know if you guys found the solution to this problem. I have had this problem twice now, the first time, earlier this year, it cleared up on it's own. Both times started a week after my bike got rained on and after I used my bright headlight.
This most recent problem started happening after I got back from bike week Daytona 2012. We got caught in rain on Sunday and we went riding all week and I had 0 problems until the next week when I was riding to class with my bright headlight on just to see if it would happen again. Basically I can start the bike and ride with my headlight fuse taken out of the bike but the front blinkers won't blink and for some reason if I use the right blinker it shuts the fuel pump off every time the blinker lights up.
I have looked in a lot of places and seen a few ideas to try which I will look at over the next few days but I wanted to post this in case someone had the solution because it sounds exactly like my problem.
