The best way to know if your 1988 Suzuki Intruder VS700GL fuel pump has gone bad is that the bike stalls. When you start it up, it will stall.
No, of course not. The fuel pump supplies fuel to the engine. The engine will not run without a supply of fuel.
Open the fuel filler door and remove the gas cap. Listen at the fuel filler opening while a helper turns the ignition on but does not start the engine. The pump will run for a few seconds and then shut off. If you do not hear the pump check the fuel pump fuse and the fuel pump relay. If they are good then the pump is more than likely defective. If you hear the pump then you know it is running but that does not mean it is pumping fuel. A fuel pressure test will verify the condition of the pump. Be sure and replace the fuel filter.
First thing would be that the car won't start. You can also just look in the trunk next to the spare tire hole and under the plate is your fuel pump. If it is not there then you will know.
The Fuel pump sending unit has gone bad. Replace fuel pump assembly, not just the pump.
In most vehicles you can remove the fuel pump fuse or fuel pump relay as the engine is running, the engine will stall when the pressure is gone.
check fuel pump relay , pump itself may be gone after 100K miles
hard starting or it fill like you run out of gas. it will turn but won't start.
A fuel pump pressure test could determine the condition of the fuel pump and fuel system.

When it fails to pump fuel as it should.
