SLyFoXX Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Looks like I have a fuel leak around the fuel pump gasket - when I replace the thing any is there other maintenance I should do while Im in the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 33032 fuel filter from Oreilly's. Microguard was 2.49 + tax in June of last year when I bought one, WIX was 3.99 + tax. The Honda one is around $50. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=54408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoungesq Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I had a nightmare experience with this when the "shop" did this routine maintenance ... two new gas tanks, a dozen new gaskets, a new fuel pump assembly and multiple tubes of gasket goop later, I finally figured out that they had OVER-TORQUED the nuts that hold the inverted pump assembly to the tank. I must've taken the setup apart and reassembled at least a dozen times before I realized that the tanks (yes, two) had been warped by a dealer mechanic who didn't heed the very particular torquing requirements. Be VERY CAREFUL in re-torquing the nuts for the pump assembly when you re-assemble & tighten them in the order described in the manual ... like putting your car tire back on. Gently tighten opposing nuts & then re-tighten/torque to spec again in opposing fashion. 1+ on the fuel filter replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
