    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.

    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.

    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?

    I could see that for the low fuel light, but I got no fuel pressure also.

    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.

    Mine did it twice, and I had bad pin connection, You might want to double check them, I opened them up and applied dielectric grease, and knock on wood has never happened again,

    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.

    Yes, checked twice, I am very familiar with weatherpak connectors, normally they are flawless, as long as you are careful with them. I am now am checking on pump side of plug connector and have continuity thru the plug, so good.
