I was doing some indos, and the bike died. I went to restart and the fuel pump never started and the gauges never reset like normal. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas

My first reaction would be to check the fuses. The reason I say that is because I had the same thing happen once, but it started working again after I pulled out and reseated all the fuses. The only difference was that I wasn't doing stoppies. After that I would start looking at the wiring and see if something didn't get pinched, worn through or damaged in some way.

Indy is right, something is not letting the pump turn on . Sounds like some electrical gremlin to track down

Are "indos" the same as "stoppies"?

If so, check the tip over switch. It shuts down the fuel pump when the bike exceeds a certain angle. It could be stuck.

Try unplugging it altogether. The bike will run with it unplugged, although it will run poorly and throw a code.
