Hey what's going on everybody? I like to start with saying this bike is a project I took on and ultimately will end up as spare parts for my track bike I'm sure. I do however want to try to make it complete bike since the motor and chassis only has 5800 miles. The issue I'm running into now is the bike will not turn over. So far I've checked all the fuses I've taken the track bike vehicle down sensor and swapped that out. The bike will not fire or even rotate. The fuel pump does not seem to be turning on. About to take the tank off the track bike w the new fuel pump and test that. My question is, can't I just jump power to the fuel pump in the crashed bike to hear it cycle? I see red wire is probably positive and then there are 2 black and white wires off the fuel pump harness. Tried getting the pump to whine off 12v source but nothing. Basically it's a 2011 ZX6R w no codes or fi faults. The warning/oil pressure is constantly blinking though instead of blinking for 2 seconds and shutting off. Any help is appreciated.
Where to start next? Kickstand switch?

Maybe a long shot: "The warning/oil pressure is constantly blinking though instead of blinking for 2 seconds and shutting off." Is there any chance this ECU is in 'flash programming mode'? Like, a harness to flash it has been installed and damaged?

If you moved the good bike ECU over to this one (don't fully install it, just plug it into the crashed/no-start harness) and turn the key on, does the fuel pump prime?

This is also what I was thinking, so far I've swapped 3 diff fuel pumps (2 of which I know are working, the 3rd being this bikes OEM pump), relay box, tip sensor, guage cluster, looped the kickstand switch, tried pulling in clutch, checked all appropriate fuses. It was involved in a front end collision so most of front light harness is dicked pretty good. The starter lockout switch is in good shape still but the brake light control switch on right clip on is kinda smashed as well. On my CBR I could just run direct power to the fuel pump off 12v source and hear pump....ZX6R pump doesn't allow this it seems? It definitely seems like the pump won't prime, my track bike warning light also blinks forever before starting so I'm lost now 😂

No codes at all. That's what's weird as hell.
Shorts or breaks in your wiring harness, I think. Time to get a wiring diagram copied from a manual or buy the manual if you can't find one online (I don't have a link to one). Or, just break the bike down and start using it as a donor for your other bike/part it out.

They are available free on this site.

I actually have the manuals. Butttt I figured it out and I'm kinda dumb. The kill switch harness was broke. See pic below. I can't believe I overlooked this and did everything else I did when the bike was in a front end collision...... Thank you everyone for helping
