how much is a new one? tough job?

No it's not.  Not a cure all but for a light to medium 'clogging' due to old or bad gas, it can do wonders for dirty injectors and fuel lines.  Certainly the cheapest way to see if that's a fix or not.

until u have injectors tested before and after using seafoam then u really dont know if it works or not, has any one ever had there injectors tested before and after??

Not that this is the OP's problem but the 'test' before is the poor running of the engine, missing, uneven idle etc.  The 'test' after Seafoam is the (absence) of what the first test indicated...sheesh!  Now, if there's something wrong with the 'E' in the EFI then Seafoam obviously won't help.  My point once again is, Seafoam is about the cheapest way to eliminate dirty or gummed up fuel lines or injectors, short of having them removed and professionally cleaned or rebuilt.

i would put a permanent fuel pressure gage on it, like the ones on turbo bikes, this way if u ever have any running problems u will know right away if its fuel related, did u check for codes??

[kevinbais]

Take it to the shop man !!

The problem is that everyone is just guessing, it could be a number of things...
Fuel pumps are over $800 for a new one, it could be just filters blocked, or it could be stator that needs replacing if it is not charging.... Guessing is no good, you need to take it to someone that knows what they're doing... That's my advice....

fuel pump from the dealer for my 99 was $200.00   not $800.00
most things on these bikes are very easy to check and test urself with a readilly available manual witch im sure can be found very easily online, shit if i took my bike to the dealer every time i had a problem i would,nt have a house to live in the dealer would own it, get a manual and learn ur bike

$200 is very cheap, maybe is was just the pump they replaced and not the whole assembly... Just the primary filter is $77, the hp filter is nearly 400, and the pump, who knows, but I'm also talking Gen2, prices on Gen1 may differ slightly... It also may have been a cheap Chinese one they installed, you can buy them on fleabay for $35... Just saying.....

TT wouldn't have purchased crappy replacement parts.

it,s not they replaced, its I replaced! and i bought the pump from the dealer that I replaced, absolutely no one works on my bike but me, and there is no need to replace the whole assembly when the filter screens can be cleaned
