Something wrong with my 2008 CBR600RR fuel pump

My 2008 CBR600RR won't start even though the fuel pump kicks on just fine.

Everything seems normal honestly because it's in neutral, kickstand is up, kill switch is off, but still hitting the ignition does nothing.

What do I need to specifically look at? Please let me know if you need more information from me. Let's help each other out.

Check the starter relay and clutch switch @VAVAVOOM. Those tend to act up in older bikes as I noticed. If the pump primes but there isn't any crank, it's usually one of those two. Just those two. Head-scratchers, let me tell you.
 
I had a no-start problem just like this on an older CBR I used to ride. It turned out the clutch switch was acting strange, the bike thought the clutch wasn't pulled in, which meant it wouldn't crank at all. Once I swapped that out, it started right up. I also took a quick look at the starter relay just to be safe.
