2006 and 2009 Apex RTX
Went to do my monthly start on my sled and when you turn the key there is a click but I did not hear the fuel pump prime like I normally do. Of course it wouldn't start, just cranked over. What should I check here?
 
Fuel relay may be stuck, its one of the relays on the left side foot well under the plastic.
 
Had same issue on my 08 Apex, and after determining fuel pump and relay were working ok, I found significant corrosion in terminals on the connector that goes into the relay pack that is mounted on the right side of the battery bracket.
Clean terminals up well and use plenty of dielectric grease. Visually check that curled edges of female spade lug connectors are gripping the male lug well. If needed, squeeze the curled edges down if they look spread open, they tend to spring open because this connector gets removed more often than most.
Cheers.

Right on... I have seen this too.
 
Mine was so bad that I had to buy a new plug for the starter relay. If you need this plug ktm sells it. Yamaha wants to sell a full wiring harness.

I know it's a late response but, my '13 xtx did this last season after I loaded it on the truck and drove to the trail head, same problem, could hear the exup valve cycle but no fuel pump Humm and no start. Swapped out 2 of the tree relays on the left foot sturup that were same (3 r the same and 1 different) and bingo the sled started and every thing ran as it should and did so all season. I ordered a couple spare relays aND keep them on board now
