So how long should the pump run after you start the bike? I rode home from work yesterday sans ear plugs and it was on the whole 30 minute ride. Is it time to pull it out and look at the wires? | ||

Your fuel pump will be on as long as you are riding. If your fuel pump stops, so does your ride  | ||

Thats what I thought. I read here about chafed wires causing the pump to run on after the tank was pressurized. Maybe I missed something. Just another thing for my friend to tell me why his 1980 BMW is a superior bike.  | ||

"Just another thing for my friend to tell me why his 1980 BMW is a superior bike." How can you hear him when he's so far behind you? | ||

I read here about chafed wires causing the pump to run on after the tank was pressurized. That is after you turn the bike on but before you start it. When you turn on the bike (and turn on the kill switch) the fuel pump should run for a few seconds and then cut off. If it doesn't cut off, you have chaffed wires. Once you start the bike, it runs all the time. | ||

Thanks, that clears it. I'm fine then. Now the fan seems to be rattling....... | ||

I believe that if your pump is pressurizing your tank it is running backwards. That in itself could cause some concern!  |
