myFI light sometimes fails to go out on initial start up reading some forum searches it could be the fuel pump if so which alternative  pump would suit my xl1000va7 or am i barking up the wrong tree all ideas welcome o ay she,s done 29,000miles

Try spinning the motor over (it won't start) then turn the ignition off and back on again. Does this then make the pump prime (whirring) and the FI light go out?

Does the light flash on and off at any point when this happens ?
I wonder what happen if I click on this - Ooops

I know this is a very old post, but if you are like me, you might be coming back here looking for information.

Let me tell you what I do if the FI light does not go out:

Put the sidestand down and back up - a couple of times.
Pull the clutch lever in.
On/Off the kill switch a couple of times.
Ignition off/on

Try again.

Last resort.. put bike in 2nd gear
Hold starter button down...
Release clutch MOMENTARILY and re-engage clutch immediately (not to be done facing a wall :D )

This normally works for me!
