quick question, i'm using the bike pump mounted in the bottom of my tank, at what point does it start working? as soon as you turn the ignition on? Is it noisy i.e. can you here it?
There isn't any petrol in yet so haven't tested it yet but I turned the ignition on earlier and never heard anything.

check your lean angle switch mine runs as soon as you turn the key i'm not using the bike pump, but it's wired the same, and i can definatly hear mine runs for about 5 seconds

i'll check it out but I'm sure the tilt swith has been sorted.

do you have any codes appearing on your clocks? i think its 30 for the lean switch.
its pretty noisy, you can definately hear a whine. comes on at 2nd click with the clocks

mine wasnt making any noises,priming nothing. all the wiring was right so i tryd using a power probe to get it to work and sure enough after a few blips on the live it primed up so it was just that it hadnt been used and needed a jump start to bring it to life.

I didn't think I had any codes but I do remember seeing a 30 on the clocks? I'll have a look at the manual and see if the 30 was an error code i.e. in the right place on the lcd.
I'll fix my filler hose and cap on tomorrow and throw some petrol in.

Thanks chaps
