2020 1290 SAS, last of the previous generation, and still under warranty. Around 6K on clock. Using the bike again after a couple of months lay up. Started bike up today. Around 30 seconds to one minute after starting engine the 'fuel pump failure' message appears and the engine stops. Cycle through the start up sequence twice (my usual solution to electrical gremlins) and the engine starts up but with usual orange warning light showing. Ride one hour to destination, no problems. Return to bike two hours later, same procedure. Around 30 seconds after start up fuel pump failure. Cycle twice etc., etc. Ride off. Being dark I notice over the first mile or so that headlight sporadically dims and brightens again. Around 3 minutes after riding off I pull up at traffic lights at busy roundabout over M5. Lights green, pull away, fuel pump fails and, thank the Lord, nobody right behind me. Luckily, I stop before entering the roundabout, pull bike over to the side of road, swear profusely, usual 2x procedure and ride the hour home with no further problems but engine warning light still on. I will call the dealer tomorrow but has anybody experienced anything similar? And if so, what's the solution?
