Well last night i dropped her pretty hard , and for the second time if i remember correctly a line popped off the fuel pump? i forget what it was exactly, but before i take it apart again, i was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this problem. thanks

and please no comments on how brittle the r6 is. its what i got and its what i like.

 

simply , go to e-gay and do the works.problem solved.

 

i don't have to buy any parts. nothing is broken. just needs to be re-attached.

 

you have to reattach a hose that keeps coming off?

 

its been a while and i dont remember exactly what it was. but it was something that came off the tank seid of the fuel pump

 

did the hose come off the pump itself or one of the nipples on the underside of the tank...

 

its something on the inside tank side of the fuel pump. not a hose under the tank. eh. ill just get started and figure something out. let you guys know how it goes

 

take pics of ur work. its hard to understand what ur talkin about.

 

They have these things called hose clamps they sell at the auto parts store... you just slip it over the hose and tighten it with a flat head screwdriver or one of them fancy sockets

 

ok well i fixed the issue and did a couple small modifications so this wont happen again. will post pictures as soon as i can. :YEAH

 

your welcome

 

actually you didnt help at all lol

it was not a hose, the fuel pump itself came apart into pieces inside the tank.

 

thats never good, I would have recommended JB Weld then lol

 

haha jb weld. not inside the tank!!!!!!!

ok. so my stupid camera decided to take a dump on me and out of all days today. i have the pictures on my camere but it wont read any memory card i throw in it to transfer the pictures.

 

Pour some tussin on it

 

Ok so i found the hardwire to the camera and was able to get the pictures. Here is what i saw when i took out the pump lol



These are the steps i took so this wont ever happen again

Filed down these tabs to make some room..



Drilled a hole here



And zip tied the **** together. I had to cut the tab on the sensor bracket to make room for the zip tie. If you look closely its to zip tie on the right



and Presto. If you don't file down the tabs, the zip tie will create too much of a space and the pump wont fit into the tank. Easy fix for a common problem. Hope this helps fellow r6 riders.

 

nice work. i heard R6's can be a pain to work on. My f4i has the fuel pump on the outside and very accessible. good info to know though.

 

ahhhhh see pictures are much better.... good work



PS cant believe they use a plastic pump, thats kinda cheesy

 

:YEAHthanks mang.

The pump it self is of course not made of plastic, just the housing.

 

no prob...

yeah I know but it makes it easier to break, like in your case is what I mean.
