Default RE: Time to take it to everyones favorite person, the mechanic

Ok, so over the weekend I lifted my tank and took the preasure regulator off of the fuel rail. I pinched the line so the tank wouldn't spill backwards, then I unbolted it and realized the vacuum line was still attached. So I pulled that off and when I did, fuel came out of the preasure regulator vacuum port!!!! Pretty sure that is not supposed to happen. Well, I ordered a new preasure regulator. Hopefully I will get it this week. I'll let you all know if it fixes the problem.

ITS FIXED!!!!!

Ok, so I got my new fuel preasure regulator last night. I installed it and the bike runs perfect!!! SO stoked! So yea, if you read that link I posted and ever have those sypmtoms, it could very well be your fule preasure regulator. I road around for about 40 miles last night, which is much farther than it was taking it before to foil up. I am super stoked. A $70 fix is WAY better than having to take it to a mechanic for $90 an hour!

The regulator is on the fuel rail. If you have the tank off, the fuel rail is on the back of the motor. Your mail fuel line goes into the rail on the right side of the bike. The reulator is on the back of the fuel rail on the left side. It sends the smaller return line to the tank and has a vacuum line that goes down to the bottom of the intake. It is about 1.5 inches long.
