fuel cut off relay question
I have a 93 CBR 900RR and found out my fuel cut off relay is bad. Does anyone know if this relay has any important function that I should spend the money to replace it or can I just wire my bike to bypass this relay?
Im not 100 percent sure, but I don't think you can just bypass it.
You certainly couldn't use the power supply that triggers the relay, as that is simple a signal voltage and not enough to supply the fuel pump. Also, I think the cut relay actually operates the fuel pump to kick on and off, even while the bike is running. I don't think the fuel pump contiuously runs the entire time. It turns off and on as pressure is needed. If you ran a wire directly to the pump, I think you would burn it up.

You can bypass the cut off relay, as that's part of diagnosing the fuel pump. But pretty sure it's not a good idea for the reason stated: pump isn't supposed to run constantly. Only when needed
