Same with my 2002 Dodge Ram Van - been happening for a year now, and no one can figure it out. New computer, new alternator, same problem.

I have a 2002 ram 5.9 starts then dies and gauges don’t work on dash anyone know Whatsup? Please please anyone? more
I hate to say it but it your ECM might be bad. Check your fuses, relays, and wiring. If none of those work, hook up a diagnostic and see if there's any codes that you can see to fix it before my assumption.
Hey yall i did alllllll that and it ended up being the battery was not putting out the correct voltage and even though it turned over it was tricking the ecm into thinking it was sending the right voltage to the fuel pump but not the other components its fine now thanks to all [links]
Fuel gauge troubleshooting begins with isolating the problem either to the gauge, sending unit, fuse or wiring. The most common gauge problems are either a bad ground at the tank, or a sender problem. As with any electrical troubleshooting, it is best to check the fuse and all wiring connections are clean, tight and free of corrosion.
The following process will require the ignition switch be in the “on” position for troubleshooting a fuel gauge issue. The first place to start is to check the ignition 12 volt power feed at the fuel gauge to see that it is powered up. If you DO NOT have 12 volts ignition on the fuel gauge, check the gauge fuse to see if it is good, and make sure the ignition switch is powering the ignition pink wire on the ignition blade of the switch. If you DO have 12 volts to the fuel gauge, the next step is to remove the fuel sending unit wire, and, with the ignition key “on”, ground the sender wire to a good chassis ground. The fuel gauge should immediately go to empty. Removing the sending unit wire from the chassis ground the fuel gauge should go directly to “full”. If the fuel gauge responds correctly, the fuel gauge and sending unit wire at this point are reacting correctly. Next, check the fuel tank float assembly to see if the grounding terminal on the float assembly has a good grounding point to the chassis. If the ground wire looks good, the problem most likely resides in the fuel tank float assembly, and may need to be replaced. more

I compiled the following from several different sources. It is anecdotal; I haven't found anything official about it.
It seems that the Tiger 800's and XC's will not start if the fuel is not registering. Fuel not registering can be caused by being out of fuel, of course, and by a weak or dead battery. It appears that the ECU must read the fuel gauge in order for the bike to start. more
If the fuel gauge reads zero, it won't start. If you have disconnected the battery or it has lost some voltage your ECU will shut down, when you switch on you need to tell the ECU that there is fuel available. The ECU can only check the fuel if the fuel is moving about (don't ask why). That's why you have to sit on the bike and preferably shake it from side to side with the ignition switched on until the fuel gauge starts to move.
Had the same issue myself after not using the bike during the snow and forgetting to plug the Optimate (Battery Tender) in. The battery does not need to get completely flat for this to happen, just drop in voltage a little. [links]
