need advise .. i was working on fixing a seal leak in the petrol on/off ..fix that ..then i had to fix a another seal from tank to petrol on/off ..both parts are not leaking anymore..except now.. the petrol pump just keeps going like crazy..never stops..is this the relay switch? i've checked its getting in petrol and out but the pump never stops..just buzzes at high speed..the bike started but not sure for how long..

 

Mine doesn't have a pump so I can't be much help. All I can come up with is that, if it was working fine before, then maybe something has been re-connected wrong or there's a dodgy join somewhere.

If you can isolate the relay then you can bodge up some feed and switch wires to it in order to test it.

Sorry, that's all I can come up with mate.

 

Do a search, as DaveTP says, the later models don't have fuel pumps. I think that some guys who had pumps removed them altogether without any problems.

 

The Haynes manual details the test procedures for the fuel pump (Lordy, don't I know that), top of the head, sounds like a fried relay, although I thought they most often died in the always off mode as opposed to always on?

 

yeah relay should fry off... left the bike for an hour and went and bought relay and tried her again and all was well, withought needing to change the relay.. i guess it needed time for fuel to fill the hoses completely and get the pump full and no air and she started behaving again. the good news is i think by fixing the the seeping leaks from the petcock the bike is running better.. not stuttering when crawling prolly less air in the mix maybe?

 

The joys of living in Sydney vs Wanaka. That would be a three week mission for me to try and extract some intelligible response from my nearest Honda dealer who is about an hours drive away, and has a spotty faced youth on the parts counter, who only knows about XR's and stuff.

"So is a CBR a dirt bike, I've never heard of them?"

Mind you it only takes me about two minutes to walk to work so I guess that's the upside.

 

Good that it's working again. Back to what it's meant for...being ridden, not worked on!

 

I know what you mean about unresolved causes .. i hate them too..i think in this case it was simply making sure the hoses and pump where filled with petrol..like with a pool pump principle i guess..
