Hi
Looking for advice on fixing the problem with my FE 570 '09 EU model.
Yesterday I pulled at the gas station and by the time I rolled to the fuel pumps bike has died.
I refuelled it and wanted to start it up but with no luck, it cranked as it should but wouldn't fire up.
I had to tow it back home.
At home I have checked the fuses, spark ( although by not removing the spark plug but by just connectimg my mate's spare one to the spark plug cap ).
The whirl of the FP is audible, once I let go off the starter button.
Strange thing is, when I disconnected the quick-disconnect fuel line and pushed the screwdriver into the FP end, the fuel was flowing - mind you that was just a free-flow, I wasn't touching the starter button at all.
On the other hand, I have tried this while pressing on the starter button - the fuel flow was just the same ( by eye ).
On my past bike - 690 Enduro R - the fuel flow from the quick-disconnect was much higher, again judging by eye of course.
I have tried to put a bottle cap full of fuel straight through the throttle body / air filter and the bike fired up for a few seconds and then died.
Tried this couple of times and it worked.
This sounds like a fuel starvation problem to me but could it be an electrical gremlin?
No FI lamp flashing.
Can you suggest what I do next?
I do have a TuneECU + cable I was using on my 690 but it won't work on Bergs will it?
Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that the bike is 2009, 61hrs, 2000 kms
