Anyone want to buy a 2002 Aprilia SL1000 Falco that I can’t seem to diagnose it not running still after replacing the fuel pump?

..... Update:

I guess the new pump is just silent compared to the OE one. Had the battery on the charger and decided to just try and started it. Lo and behold she fired right up... Hopefully that pump fixed my issues and it wasn’t a fluke

Compression, correct air/fuel ratio, spark at the right time.

It’s missing one of the above. Think of it like a treasure hunt!

Nope, just tries to turn over, but I was riding and it shut off. Fuel pump wasn’t turning on. It did this morning, so I assumed like in cars when they get hot they stop working. The bike was ice cold and I heard it prime. Installed the new one. Filled the bike with fuel again and no prime

Turns over great, won’t get fuel to the cylinders and I can not hear the pump prime where you normally do and I did before it shut off on me one day.

Ok, narrowing it down, that’s good!

Now I know all of nothing about that bike, but have you confirmed the pump is getting power and has a good ground? If it’s not, jumper that sucker and see if she goes!

If the pump is getting power, is it actually pumping fuel? Checked your petcock lately?

If pump is getting power, and seems to be pumping fuel, Carb’d or FI? If FI, can you pull the injectors to ensure they’re injecting?

Don’t mind me, just spitballing here...
