Default 06' 600RR - another way to check fuel pump?

I have an ongoing "no start" issue with my 2006 600RR. I checked a lot of the common issues to best of my knowledge: BAS switch is oriented correctly, headlamps are plugged in w/ working bulbs, fuses ( left mid-fairing area and around the battery) passed visual pull-n-check, battery is good, I have not come across any disconnected grounds or broken wires, and I am getting spark ( visual check with the plugs pulled and grounded on frame while cranking). With cranking, though, motor is only turning...no stuttering, stumbling, or anything or the sort that would imply something is combusting.

Fuel pump relay clicks and seems to prime at ignition on ( I hear the noise, and it sounds the same as ever). I've read elsewhere on this forum that the pump could sound like it primes, but still not actually do anything, so I wanted to know if there is a reliable and safe way to further check the pump. I am considering pulling a fuel line (before the fuel rail) and seeing if it sprays during ignition on, but I am doubtful if that is a wise technique. Also, as it is sitting with a full tank, gas may just pour out without any extra assistance from the fuel pump, and make my improvised check inconclusive.

Any wisdom and insight for a fuel system check would be greatly appreciated!

Additional FYI - Bike was in a low speed crash that damaged the left headlamp/cowl area and slightly twisted tail/ subframe ( after the seat). Headlamp and BAS were replaced. Bike has a Powercommander3, which was located in the tail, but it seems intact and the cable and connections seem ok.

Hi. I have the Haynes manual for your (and my) bike with the fuel pump section for testing on fuel injected models. I could email it to you if you email me at skyscraper147@sky.com I would attach it in this reply, but I think the attachment is too large.

HEY THERE. I'm having a similar issue but my issue is I'm not getting a fuel pump prime sound when ignition switch on the ON position. I check my wires going in to the pump and the brown with blk wire has 12v but on the other side of the conector it drops down to 4.35 volt. Ive seen a lot of threads stating about a pink wire off the ignition switch that a diode goes bad but my cbr is a 05 which means it only has 2 wires coming out of igniton. any help would be appreciated.. THANK YOU ALL
