Ok so here is my problem that i hope someone can help me with, i just replaced the battery and removed my gas tank to clean it and now that i have everything re installed the bike wont start. now its not like the bike wasn't running before i did this, it was running great, started after turning over once or twice. but now there is nothing and after letting the motor turn over the plugs are still dry. so no fuel.. i know the injectors are working because in can hear them click when i press a rod against them, its also getting spark. the fuel filter line from the fuel pump fell off and i put it back on but a piece of plastic tube fell out when i was cleaning the tank, pics below

now as far as i know that it the fuel level sensor or something like that, but it shouldnt have an affect on the starting of the bike. i hope someone can help me out with this, thanks [thumbsup]
Something falling out of the gas tank that looks like shit couldn't possibly have anything to do with it!
Does the pump cycle when you turn on the key?
If it does, did you reverse the fuel lines when you reconnected them?

no, i have all the lines connected right, i labeled everything before i took it apart. i was thinking a line fell off inside the tank but i cant get to the lines in the bottom of the tank

The fuel sender supplies voltage to the pump.
If the pump doesn't cycle there's a good chance it's toast based on your pics.

i mean it pumps fuel i know that for sure, but if you think that could be the problem i will take your word for that. best thing ive heard far
Huh? Your sure the pump is working but it is not getting fuel?

There are no lines at the bottom of the tank. Only the steel tubes.
All the rubber lines are just below the cap holder.
noob suggestion but, may be you have reverse electric polarity on pump? it works but wrong way.

no its pumping the right way, i checked. there is no fuel getting to the injectors but the fuel pump is working. this happend after i removed the tank
Did you change the filter?
I'd say one of the fuel lines in the tank has come unhooked.

no i didnt change the filter but i know its flowing thru it because i took the line off thats after the filter and its flowing.

and yeah thats what im thinking, but all the lines i can visibly see are connected, how can i even reach the lines in the bottom of the tank?

Remove the large diameter line under the cap holder and pull the pump.
If fuel is flowing from the line after the filter the lines are all connected.
Keep in mind that it worked before you took it apart. It almost certainly is something you did.

i know, im just trying to figure out what.. its got to be something stupidly simple that happened
Pull the pump.
Check to make sure the screen isn't clogged with that mung that was in the tank that you disturbed and that the lines are tight.
While you're in there change the filter...NAPA 3032...about $7 retail.
i figured it out, i had a kinked line a little further down after the tank.. something silly! but thank you all for the help!
