Yeah they are different years. My friends have an '01 and an '03 and they're the same model as the yellow CBR. The black/red tank looks like it's from a bike similar to my own which is an '04. I haven't done any work on bikes other than my own but the main fuel hose should point towards the front of the bike since you're securing it to the fuel injectors which are sort of under the engine air filter housing.

I'm dealing with a leaking fuel pump problem on an '04 too. Be very careful with those bolts because if you snap one you'll have to buy a new gas tank like me and they're expensive. I'm going to find out today if I fixed the problem--I think the fuel return filter (sort of coiled metal sponge looking thing) wedged itself between the gasket and the metal base of the fuel pump and allowed fuel to leak out regardless of how it was torqued. If that wasn't the problem for me then I'm stumped so hopefully it works!

 

Hey, did you find the cause of the leak, I replaced my gasket base on my 04f4i and can't seem to figure out the cause of the leak. Thanks in advance.

 

Did you find out what was causing the leak, I've changed my gasket today and it's leaking heavily.

 

Hello, I am doing the procedure right now, has anyone cleaned the filter attached to the fuel pump ? (not the steel wool).

I am having some difficulties to disconnect the fuel pump wiring connector, any advice what to press or pull to free it? Thanks

 

Slide the green locking tab back. Then press the black tab in the center and disconnected the connector.

You can't clean the filter. Replace it.

 

Done, thank you, I was worried to break it..

My bike is a Cbr 1100 XX, I replaced the oem filter with a K&N PF 1300, slightly bigger than original, but it fits well, you only need a longer screw and you save a LOT of money.

 

Very neat.
