03 Cbr 954rr fuel pump won’t prime

My first and last video! This issue I see tons on but so vague on the actual fix. There can be several issues to cause this but if you test everything like I did and find no issues then this might be your issue and a fix for your bike.

I have an 03 954 and I had the same issue the other day and couldn’t figure out what was causing the fuel pump to not prime. I rode it a mile down the road and it cut out, thanks to your video I took it out tested all the wires and boom, same exact issue

[@kiowa1980]

Fixed mine today same problem, then I see this video lol anyway thank for the information. I fixed mine buy drilling holes on the center of the connector then threaded a small bolt with a nut. eye connectors on the wires tightened it down then epoxy on top it worked perfectly now I won’t ever have to worry about that again and didn’t have to spend 400 on a fuel pump assembly.

Having the same problem with my cbr929rr. Thank you for the video because this was driving me crazy after spending hours checking all the relays and it all comes down to this...

[@mikemills7809]

Kurt MacDowall I never check TH-cam. Just seen the replies. Glad this helped you. I went nuts trying to diagnose this issue!

[@techo61]

Excellent video thanks Mike. I didn't consider the open circuit in the wiring junction at the mount plate, so I went back to the garage (in my pyjamas) to confirm, nope, mine's good, pump is dead.

I had the exact same problem with the blue wire “disconnecting” with the connection in the potting compound in the sender on my 03 954. Pushed on the wire and voila - the pump worked.

Thanks man. My dad got that same problem on his 954

Hondas go crusty when they don't get abused.

[@poloswag2011]

[@christopherpeterson1400]

So how did you fix it ? Solder ? New wire ? Re epoxy ?

[@thewavybaby7951]

Going through this exact problem right now. Smdh

[@genegonzalez4713]

Good video the only one

[@Johnyquest1]

Welp, I just spent ALL DAY outside replacing my fuel pump only to find out I think I have the *exact* same problem as you. Originally thought it was the pump because of course, 12v directly to the pump wires and I had nothing. No idea how the hell this could happen, but of course after I put it all back together and had the same issue -- Put 12v directly to the old pump and what do you know ... it's not the pump. I too have power at the harness ....
Wow, this is the dumbest issue ever. Just like you, I rode home, shut it off, and that was it. Thankfully it happened at home ... but w-t-f!?!??! So un-Honda like.

So u bought a new one instead of fixing the connection?

[@charlesflaco5037]

I stored my bike for 5 years it ran perfect even had put fuel stabilizer before storage now i go empty old fuel and put new fuel, true the key everything lights up but fuel pump prime it turns over but no primer and no star, it has 5k and i baby my stuff, what can i do, i hasn't been dropped nothing it was covered, help please anyone.

[@dannilaser16]

The same exact thing happened to me, spent endless hours, and it still would not prime.
Don’t know what to do next.
Ran fine a few months ago.
Tried to start it, it cranks, but not priming when I turn on the start button.
Very frustrating.

[@wildcardjoker]

When I bought I had same exact thing happen

[@ophidianstudios1637]

Check your grounds

[@greghardy7597]

Video showed a female electrical conector one side slipped on and the other side off.

[@kellyowensby]

[@mikemills7809]
