mick750 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 is there any way to see if the pump is on its way out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzza Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Similar intermittent problem with my 00 RSV-R Mick.............the electrical connection for the fuel pump can, over time, become won and loose. Lift the seat and it's the white plug with 3 'prongs' I now have a cable tie around mine to prevent it from happening again......job jobbed ;-) HTH Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Check what Cuzza says first, costs £0 , then millemilles breather pipes at £0 then fuel pump at £50 Have you done any servicing lately? My mate had 0 problems with his until he changed the air filter and then it started cutting out a few weeks later. He traced that back to the wires that Cuzza mentioned pulling apart slightly which must have happened when he wedged the tank up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick750 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 right then ive just been out to have a look and cuzza it does seem a bit loose but not loose enough to cause any problems so started it up and while running disconnected the plug and engine dies so reconnect it and she fires back up again perfectly however i lety it get up to temperature and at 86 it died again and i seem to remember it was about that temp when it originally happened first so any more ideas ?
