i'm trying a 2-3.5 psi pump from my local autoparts store, and see what happens
I'm running this one for about 1000 miles with 0 issues. This pump is available at advancedautoparts and autozone.

why the hassle franken! and all the money spent for nothing...
you see, the fuel pump will die on you again and again... it's an endless dilemma!
you know, i once spent more than 3 hours pushing my bike ... because of this problem.. and i was like almost crying.... i couldn't take it .... and i swore to never go with the fuel pump again......
so i went gravity feed instead.... check out my vid:
Motorcycle fuel pump to gravity feed - YouTube

and plz keep me updated with your 954 forks

this failed very well on my bike... guess it only works for some bikes
anyways in the manual it says while testing the pump "If no continuity (in the relay) short the black and black/blue wires at the relay connector"... can i just do that to bypass the bad relay?

dear anybody... i'm going to bypass the fuel cut relay... can i just tie all 3 wires together (2 go to the CDI box/coils and one goes to the pump)... my instructor said there should be no problem.... just testing waters to see if anyone has done this

Hmm, I would think without a switch (the fuel cut-off relay) the pump would just run endlessly as long as it had 12VDC. Which in turn will fill those float bowls and keep on filling your cylinders. I dont know for sure tho, so make sure your ready for anything when you start crossing wires together. Hope you get it working, and let us know what happens. good luck
