My '08 Uly has blown three fuel pump fuses. Each time the low fuel light has been on and I have been coming to a stop. Dealer has had the bike for a week and can't recreate or find the problem. Is anybody else having problems with the '08 fuel pumps?

Have them check the grounding points. When the grounds went bad on my '08 I blew the fuel pump fuse also. The chassis ground system on Buells sucks....

My pump failed <500 miles but all is fine since then, 4K miles later.

Has the dealer had the fuel pump out to look at the harness? Sounds like a wire is chafed through and intermittently grounding.

Has anyone thought that it might just be a bad batch of fuses ? Duh !

Thanks for the input. I'm going to check back with the dealer today. Two of the fuses came with the bike and the third was from the local auto parts store.
