I've seen pumps fail due to the wires being pulled from the connectors when removing the tank. If you can find an cheap Aprilia RXV pump...... Alec
Hey Jim, I have an '09 TE-510 and was out on a multiday excursion when my fuel pump packed it in. At roadside I traced it back to that, but as it was still under warranty, didn't go in any deeper and let my brother go get his truck and haul me and the dead bike out. My bike had 2000 kms on it roughly.. At the shop they replaced it with a new one out of another moto, and when I was pulling the fuel pump assembly out of the tank I noticed immediately the problem. There was 2 wires with plugs on them that sit right in the fuel and one of the wires did not have any support plastic on it and had simply broken off, thus killing the pump. As the new pump had already been put in my new IMS tank and installed on the bike which was now running fine, I didn't bother to fix this dead pump and try it, but I'll bet it would have run again no problem. If it ever happens to me again in the woods, I'd pull it out again and check the wires. You may want to on yours too... that may be the issue. Good luck, Pete SS
Yea, checked those out and they are fine, interesting though, have not heard of that yet. Thanks for the input. By the way, did they let you keep the pump...Doubt it, sure they needed to send it back huh?
