    My TE450 has been acting odd starting this desert season (late last year). Sometimes the fuel pump wouldn't cycle on when I turned on the key. Turning it off and back on a time or two usually got it going without issues.

    Then after a few rides, the pump would stop during a ride. When this happened I noticed the N light flashing on the dash. Are there codes that this bike gives?

    Anyway, I figured my pump was failing so I installed a new universal one. The problem has not changed. I am likely going to order a new fuel pump relay as well just in case that is starting to give out.

    Anything else I should be looking at? This bike has never failed to get me home but now I am not feeling confident taking it out by myself anywhere.

    Make sure you battery is good, my bike was acting the same way (I think the N light was flashing too). It ended up being a bad battery. I replaced it and I have been trouble free for a year now. Mine is a 09 TE450

    You been casing my house?? :p I just replaced the battery yesterday, also installed a new fuel pump relay (ordered trough SWM) and it has worked 10 of 10 times locally so far.

    I guess I will see how well it works, heading to the desert tomorrow if all goes as planned.

    Just wanted to close the loop on this. I rode all day in the desert with the new battery, never once had an issue with the fuel pump. It seems that the battery was likely the culprit. I was getting close to giving up on this beast, but she's back in my good graces.
