Bad Fuel Pump

[buell-fan]

Anybody find an after market fuel pump that works in our bikes?
I got a 2015 SX, that everything worked fine for 1500 miles, first low fuel light coming on at half tank, checked 3rd pin on the plug, etc, has power and ground, died while riding at 60 mph, no start now. P0087 code, fuel pressure.

First check to see if there is actually fuel in the tank. When the floats stop working they gradually loose floatability, so the half tank is an indication of the problem there. That being said, there is an aftermarket pump that the EBR pump parts can be fitted with. They are Buell 1125R fuel pump, a 325 lph fuel pump.

Yes, just filled with fuel, started acting up 60 miles later.
I thought someone on here said the 1125 pump is too long? or something?

Before you buy one I would check your pins again , and you fuses, then I would take it out and hook up 12v to it, check all the wire connection.

Actually you just have a "code" for low fuel pressure. IMO the part is expensive enough to warrant a proper diagnosis before a blind replacement.

Well, hello my Cali friends, it set the code when it quit running, checked the pigtail to the pump and I have power and ground, it's possible a bad connection at the pump, but from seeing the others, I'm thinking I got the version B pump, with no bad crimps?
But yes, I'll pull it out for furthur diagnosis, before ordering a new one.
Thank's to all responders.

Very good info, thank you!
Ive had great luck with the Walbro pumps.

Yes, Nothing like a good smack to test motors, we have all done this, Sounds like you found a good fix with the Walbro GSS-342 pump, Share some pics if you can. What did you have do modify to make it fit?

The bracket/sleeve that holds the pump needed opening up slightly, you got to splice in the Walbro elec. connector, I soldered, no crimps, and I jammed the float in the UP position, with a hose clamp, to keep the low fuel light from coming on. I'll just watch my miles, like I have on every other bike I've owned.

In full disclosure, I brain farted and didn't take any pics, I stole this off a guy on EBAY, selling a used one that looked just like mine. Lol.

Looks good , does the float seem gas logged? Can you dry it out and then seal it so it will float ?
