A BIG thank you to all the guys in the list,

esp for the recent thread about fuel pumps.  Mine died last weekend, on a
ride into another country (Malaysia!) and I was stranded about 100km away
from home (Singapore) with a dead fuel pump.

Because of the shared experiences on this list, I remembered I could run the
fuel hose directly from the fuel filter to the carburettors, and rode home
at about 100km/h....at that speed, the engine definitely felt rougher
.....Still I made it home, and didn't have to leave my @ by the roadside in
a foreign country, risking theft.

THIS IS WHAT JOINING A LIST IS ALL ABOUT : sharing and learning from each
other's experience.

My turn to add some experience;
I found out from the local @ importer that most @ fuel pumps die within the
first year.
He recommends to substitute the part with a fuel pump from the CBR900.
Apparently that pump has got a much better reliability record, so that's
what I did.  Paid S$140 for it.  Don't worry, the bike isn't behaving like a
CBR900 at all......   :)

Happy New Year to everyone around the world.
