everydayrider99 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ok, so I need a FPR for a 99XX. I have been on turbo city's webpage and can not locate one. I can only find one for an st1300. If anyone has the link to the one I need it would be appreciated. Or if anyone suggests one from another place, let me know. Thanks, Dan Also, I have done the search on this site already and have read up plenty. This is why I went to turbo city. Is there is a write up on how to exactly change this part out. I pulled the fairings and propped up the tank, but my service manual is shitted up and vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just buy an OEM one for a 2001-2003 XX. Bumps the pressure from 43 to 50 and is much cheaper than Turbo City. I didn't have to remove the fairings to replace it. Just propped up the tank and it was right there on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a clean untarnished service manual on this site if you look. Its a very easy remove and replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaverbreath Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Sounds good guys, thanks. I replied to you post on the other site with some info. Very easy to change. 10 min. start to finish. Just lifted the tank in the front (have near empty tank if possible) Used an adjustable wrench and pliers for the fuel clamp. Get something to plug the fuel line if you can while you change the FPR. I used a bolt, no good as fuel leaked around the threads. Sounds good guys, thanks. I replied to you post on the other site with some info. Very easy to change. 10 min. start to finish.

Blew out the connector with air before I reconnect it as there was a bit of fuel in and around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayrider99 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 OK, so tank is propped up, I pulled all the necessary hoses and what not, plugged fuel line, etc. All that is left is the FPR sticking out of the rail. Do I have to loosen that big nut??? It is tough, and I remember reading about someone either bending their rail doing this or was concerned about bending the rail.

redxxrdr Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I posted to be carefull about bending the rail. Like any line connection, you want to hold both ends with wrenches. I don't remember the exact sizes now, 24 and 27mm I think. That said, I used a close to size standard wrench and a crescent wrench the last time with good results. The FPR is sealed with the O rings on the pipe between the regulator and the rail, not really the fitting that mounts it. Mine was not hard to loosen. It is really much easier than you will think. Just get two wrenches and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redxxrdr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 So............... Did the FPR fix the fueling problem? Are you going for a Labor Day ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayrider99 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 So............... Did the FPR fix the fueling problem? Are you going for a Labor Day ride? Ok, I placed my order through SHSflowersports. I used a fake name because I don't know all of the rules of the forum yet. Anyway, 50 dollars with shipping for a 2001 FPR. Placed the order the 28th, and I check the order status everyday. They still haven't even shipped the damn thing. I understand the weekends and holiday and shit, but at least get it out by Friday. I ordered some shit from shmike schmandit the next day and everything was on my porch this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
