hahaha, sorry for the laugh. That is frickin loud....Your indicator lights are out of whack as soon as the ignition is turned on. Just not sure how a fuel pump relay would cause a dash light issue. A voltage drop or a bad ground??? Better get your meter out and start testing. Good luck

Something is wrong with that thing, lol. It looks like the backlight dims at the same time as the fuel pump cutout, possibly a momentary interuption in the powersupply. Could be a fault in the wiring or a bad sensor, check the ECU your bike should have a self diagnosis, if you cant find anything your going to have to check every inch of your electrical system. My best guess is that the computer is recognizing a serious problem and shuting down then restarting....and now that I think about it that would make it tough to do a self diagnosis huh? Let us know what you find, I'm curious myself now. Good luck!

Did you ever install an alarm system on the bike? Or a kill switch? When was the bike running fine last? What led up to this issue? Did anything strange happen to the bike? Did it fall over? Did you add or remove any parts? Something had to cause the problem. I'm in agreement with Prom. The bike could be recognizing a problem, and letting you know. I'd take it to a proper mechanic, and get it checked out right. Why take a risk? Small price to pay for piece of mind.

It might be an easy fix with the right know how and equipment. Find someone with a truck or trailer. (save the towing cost) It shouldn't cost much for them to scan it and tell you what you need. Get an estimate, and then decide if you can afford it or not. That's what I would do. Just a thought.
