06 Eating 10a Ignition Fuse on Kill Switch Activation

Hey All,

So thought I might take the Demon Bike out for a bit today but seems it had other ideas.

It seems not to like its 10a Ignition fuse. Can turn key to Ignition no issues, all lights working, etc. I hit the Kill switch and about 2 sec later the fuse blows. I can hear the relay kicking on/off . I also notice the headlight dims slightly when the switch is activated. I do not hear the pump motor however priming.

Anyway, disconnected the connector on the fuel pump and it stops eating the fuse. I realize I could be getting a false positive but I'm hesitant to pop in a 15a especially when I don't hear the pump try to spin up.

I was going to pull the pump out and try to power it direct to make sure but figured I'd pop in here to see if anyone had any other ideas before I start pulling it further apart.

So 2 questions:
  1. Fuel pump safe bet or?
  2. Fuel pumps for an 06 seem to be all over the place. Some have reported problems after replacing with certain vendors (I shall not name them). Any recommended sellers for a stock 06?

Thanks guys
