FZS 1000 Starting problem

[unfazed]

Check for spark before you assume it's fuel-related.

The fuel pump only cycles at switch-on if the fuel level has dropped in the float bowls. 

Fuel pump failure is rare.  Rather than mess around removing and taking to dealer, lift the tank and connect a fuel hose direct from the fuel tap to the fuel line into the carbs.  Gravity feed will be more than enough to prove whether or not this is a fuel starvation issue.

Falcon 269 is absolutely correct, but a simple way to check the pump is working is to attach a pipe to the outlet of the pump, direct it into a jar and turn on the ignition with the kill switch in the on position. It should pump fuel into the jar, if not check the electrical connections first before assuming the pump is faulty. A test lamp connected to the both leads to the pump one end to one wire and the other end to the other wire will prove electrics. As Falcon 269 stated Fuel pump failures are rare on any of the fazers.
I presume the fuel tap is turned on and there is fuel in the tank and there is spark
