Fuel pump has gone bad

Sad to say this beautiful black beast has gone to the moto gods as of august last year following a nasty crash I had down south. She lives on in my head and is superseded by her redheaded sister!...

Today we do a fuel filter, spark plugs, and service the steering stem bearing. Don't know exactly what this crap was in my fuel tank, but it's not in there anymore....

You can replace the pump for $30, if your real, real careful with disassembly. Just hope that 1. it works & 2 it fixes the cutting out problemo. Otherwise its orf to the dealer for him to rape &am...

The arrow can be removed, I'm trying, but it holds on very tightly. I checked all the wires and all the contacts, + and - everything comes to the board but it doesn’t go further along the board........

The leak was where the rear mounting tab was welded to the tank. It looked like an incompete weld, or a weld may have pulled loose or cracked. This would likely be a high stress area, and it's possi...

After I posted the above, I got a couple of messages that I had overlooked one potential source of leaks. The way I plugged the filler neck with an expanding stopper put the filler neck joint outside...

Whoever tried to de-cat the bike before my ownership, sure did a second rate job. All those lose pieces just messed up the exhaust as well, forcing me to rush my replacement search....
