Title: Odd fuel pump noise
Post by: crash_duc on March 23, 2009, 08:23:50 PM
OK, due to a situation I won't go into here, I had to do an engine swap in my 695. I had the bike in a local dealership, and had a disagreement with management, hauled off my bike in boxes. What I was left with was a motorcycle-shaped jigsaw puzzle. It's now reassembled, new engine installed, battery recharged. It sat for about a year waiting for me to buy a new engine, and now when I fire it up, the fuel pump "clicks" while it's running. It moves fuel, but the audible clicking is not something I think is right. Any ideas?

CRAP!!! Battery is toast. The "clicking" was one of the relays. Fuel pump seems fine. Never mind.   [bang]  [bang]  [bang]
