Fuel Pump Relay and Reserve Warning Light

[RagingMain]

All right for all you guys out there who's bike will only run when the fuel switch is in the reserve position.....

Check Your Light Bulb!!!! :bang head::bang head:
When you first start the bike the light should come on.
Mine didnt. :bang head::bang head:
I never really paid attention to it either
That was my problem, yes both...the bulb and not paying attention :bang head::bang head:
Everything that the manual said to do I did and it pointed to the relay except my relay was working I just didnt know it. :bang head::bang head:

At first my fuel pump would only run with it in Res.
Changed the light bulb, now it works in either position.

One other way to check is to put your Volt meter to check DC amps and check the green wire coming into the relay to ground. You should have some current flowing through there at all times. Not sure of the value but mine was .2 amps.

Hope this helps someone out there.
