Default Bike wont start!!!!!!!

ok I have 01 cbr f4i 600, it has never given me any problems the wholeyear that ive owned it, but yesterday i cranked it up and the bike cranked up perfectly fine. I took it to the gas station and filled it up with premium gas, but then the bike didnt start. It does try to start, the starter is working. but i the fuel pump does not charge when key and switch is engaged, and it says my brights are on, but nor my brights or my normal head lights are on now, all the lights in my controls light up fine, but the fuel pump does not charge, lights are not coming on, and the bike wont fire up. help!!!

Yeah check fuses under the seat first. Also, don't put premium in your bike, it's a waist of money and actually has adverse affects with regards to performance on a bike with standard ignition and valving.

Check the connections to the headlight. Unplug them all and rehook them all up. (one at a time) There is a BAS (bank angle sensor...or tip sensor) that is mounted to the headlight right in the middle, and if that doesn't pass voltage the pump won't prime. You proly hit a bump or something and a connection is not making good contact now.

Charge your battery to full capacity, then try starting it

I agree with bambam, Start with the simple stuff first and then get a manual if you can't figure it out
