I was driving my 2000 929 yesterday when for no reason it died. I pulled over and noticed that when i turned the key to on I couldn't hear the fuel pump run. I let the bike sit for five minutes and tried it again, this time the fuel pump turned on and the bike started. I didn't have that problem for the rest of the day. Anyone had or heard of this problem and know how to prevent it from happening again?
Thanks

 

its only a guess so it could be aload off bs, I had a fuel pump that did that twice on 2 seperate occasions on a 400 i had, it turned out to be some crap in the fuel causing blockages.

 

Inspect the fuel filter and add an in line 1 as well...and check routing of the tank vent hose also to ensure that it is not pinched and causing vapor lock

 

I took the gas tank off and found that the ground wire to the fuel pump was barely connected. I reconnected it and ran an extra ground wire to the frame. I haven't had a problem since.
