Hey everybody I'm new to bikes and also new to the forum I just purchased my 94 cbr 900 about three weeks ago and after about 2k of riding it just quit and wouldnt start ,after further examination I notices my fuel pump was'nt turning on and that the petcock was leaking , I would rather purchase these parts used due to the price so anybody have either part in working condition that they would be willing to part with ????

 

I would check ebay. It's a shame that you can't use the bike until they're replaced, I had the radiator fan go out on my '93 a couple months ago after I bought it and was able to find one a week later for $25 on ebay. With the fan I was still able to ride it, just had to avoid traffic/ idlling for too long. If there aren't a set on ebay now, parts come up there pretty quickly. Worst case check your local salvage yard, never know what you can find there - or go OEM and pay a premium to get it faster/ new. Still, hope you enjoy the bike, they are a ****ing blast. I love the styling on the '93/'94s.

 

Ok I found a pump used for 45.99 on rpm-cycle.com but its for a 99 cbr 900 will it work and dose anyone know if that is a reputable site ?

 

I've got a 94 and I removed my pump and it works fine without it. I did have to do alot of tuning to make it work fine. The needle and seats on the 93,94 and 95 have a smaller orphous because of the fuel pump and might not gravity feed enough fuel so I installed needles from a 96 and up. My bike works fine without the pump. Johnny

 

so you mean just bypass the whole fuel pump and then do what? I'm lost here.....

 

Just try it without the pump. Use 3/8 fuel line to get enough flow and your bike should run fine. Someone from this forum told me about this and I've benn running without one for a long time. If it starves out of fuel then change the needle and seat. Johnny

 

By the way the 96 and up don't use a fuel pump. Johnny

 

I will try to do that , you say you did it yourself what about when you get on the throttle dose it deliver enough fuel ..and what are the needle and the seat , forgive me I dont know alot about my bike or any others for that matter

 

The needle and seat are in the carburators and you might have to change them and replace them from the 96 and up or get a jet kit that includes everything needed. Johnny

 

Am I going to have to most definatley replace them if I decide to bypass the fuel pump
