Hi all I am new to this forum, so dont get me wrong with my questions My CR have 7 k miles on it, and now it is on winter service, so i decided to change spark plugs. As i could not find stock sp , i decided to use NGK Platinum Iridium They fit ok, but thought i have to take advice from you guys,will they work normally? http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/products/spark_plugs/ laser_platinum.asp Also one more question,when i had about 4 k miles check engine came on display, diagnostic showed that there is fuel pressure low, but the bike works ok, and starts on morning sometimes from second attempt, i dont want to take off the fuel pump because there is a lot of work with it,what do you suggest to do? i want to try this thing just for prevention http://www.twinmotorcycles.com/webshop/artikel.asp ?guid=YXHFSC&aid=3309&cid=9669&s=&a=&aname=RedLine _Complete_fuel_system_cleaner | ||

As far as the fuel pump error code, if you hit the start button too quick the pressure will be low and trigger the DTC. Wait after turning key for the message to finish scrolling past East Troy to push the start button. P087 by chance? Also possible - did you ever run out of gas? Or maybe get close to the bottom and take a tight turn... I have no experience with anything but the OEM NGKs. Zack | ||

you can get oem spark plugs from al at American Sport Bike | ||

Just to add also, a while back i contacted summit racings-powersports place and they offered to special order a list of parts for me which included NGK spark plugs Jardine exhaust Jardine license mount K&N air filter K&N oil filter EBC HH front pads Dunlop Q2 tires After ordering all these parts they have added all of them to their website Just letting everyone know that summit is another option if looking for these parts. | ||

 Diagnostics showed this error Could it be fuel pump? Just to mention, sometimes i heard strange sounds coming from the frame...and my bike accelerates little bit slower than previous. Should i replace it? And what is CAN BUS error? | ||
| Froggy |
Disregard the CANBUS error, it happens if there is a momentary loss of communication between the cluster and ECM, usually during starts with a weak battery. You probably do have a fuel pump issue. Those errors are common if you run out of gas, but being current and the symptoms you describe would have me putting some coin aside to replace the pump. | ||
| Rogue_biker |
Is it common to have the whole pump fail? Or is it just the internal pump wiring failing due to chaffing (like the XB's)? Removing/replacing the fuel pump is very easy. | ||

Please make sure your machine is charging and voltage is where it needs to be and grounds are good as a low voltage may produce the same effect. | ||
| Kalif |
Brumbear I have low voltage issue also,now waiting for stator rebuild.so after i solve the problem with charging, will check for the fuel pump. Thank you for answer Rogue_biker I dont think that fuel pump replacing is so easy process pulling off the swingarm...is the pain in @ss on Jap bikes it is a lot easier } | ||
| Froggy |
You do not need to remove the swing arm, just jack the bike up, disconnect the rear shock, then go for the fuel pump. | ||

> just jack the bike up, disconnect the rear shock, then go for the fuel pump. I went to rigid pegs on mine -- best move ever. I just drop the bike off the rear stand on to a pair of jack stands and literally ONE BOLT later, the swing arm is free. In addition to easy access to the fuel pump, I can actually swap out the whole rear suspension in about 10 minutes. It's fantastic. Over all, I'd say just about EVERYTHING is better/easier for working on with one of these bikes than a Japanese bike, in particular a Honda. I have a Honda 600, and what a PITA every job is on that bike. Try swapping the clutch pack, for example. 20 minute job on the Buell. You will spend that long just getting the *combined* (ugh) clutch/water pump/everything else cover off the motor on the Honda. (Message edited by jdugger on January 02, 2013) | ||

Jdugger, could you do a short video or a series of pictures, showing the process? I'm sure it would be much appreciated by all facing a fuel pump repair, or suspension swap. | ||

Kalif - Are your issues sorted out? I have a used take-off fuel pump sitting on the shelf at the shop. If I can get time to swap it remains to be seen... I rode Loretta to work today, easier to duck-walk her across the ice than the Uly. She runs fine at the low end, I usually don't even miss the 15-20 HP she's down. If this fuel pump doesn't get my HP back, I will replace the pump body from the ass'y I take out and do it again. Zack |
