    Bike died on me during a short ride while at work...seems to have plenty of power, but will not fire up. I can no longer hear the fuel pump prime when I flip the switch to the run position, could it just be that my fuel pump has gone bad? 09 xb12ss with 19.5k miles, plenty of fuel, battery is strong, no other issues...
    Thanks for the help!!

    It's always the simple stuff we overlook (or least I do)...sure enough, it was a blown fuse. Popped in a replacement and she fired up just fine. Wolfo, you the man...saved me a ton of headache!!

    The only thing odd he described was the fuel pump not priming. I've had that issue before, I wouldn't say lucky per se. just that I've had that issue.
