Is the alternative battery new? If not it could be a bit weak and when you put it all back together and press go there is not enough juice in the battery to spark it up.
Is the fuel fresh eg under 2 months old. Check earth connections and starter connection as well could be gunged up and a huge amp draw.

Welcome aboard and sorry you're having problems with your Evo.
Is this starting issue something that has just happened or is the bike new to you and you've never had it running? If the bike was a runner and the problem has developed recently, did you do anything to the bike prior to this issue, e.g. remove the tank, which could have caused it? Also, when you turn on the ignition, can you hear the fuel pump priming for a second or two? Do you see any error codes if you cycle through the menu options with the left bar switchgear? |

Welcome to the forum peterd555. If there is no smell of petrol on the I would check the fuel pump again, has a similar problem with my GSX1400. Have you tried damp start?

I bought my M900Sie as a non runner and traced the problem to the connectors on the loom that plug into the injectors.
All the contacts registered a signal on the pins but nothing got thorough when plugged to the injectors. New connectors cured it and it's been trouble free for the last ten years. I was able to feel the jets of fuel on my finger when I reached down past the open butterflies. (Don't do that with a diesel!!) Well worth checking that the injectors work on the loom and work back to the pump from there. There's some interesting info on the fuel system here. http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=39677
