Fuel light stays on

Do i have to pull the fuel pump to fix?

Yes, you do.

Common problem - dealers were replacing the fuel pump under warranty to resolve it.

But this seems like a very easy problem to fix. Correct? The only difficulty is pulling the fuel pump (a lot of steps to do that). Once it's out you only need to re-crimp the wire to the sensor, correct?

Thanks so much. Looks like I have my work cut out for me this weekend! One other thing: can you get the fuel pump out without that special puller device shown in the video? I would imagine you could stick some type of bolt in it and just pull on the bolt. Your thoughts?

Personally, I'm a fan of having the proper tool to do the job to prevent any damage.
That being said, you could probably rig up a bridge type of puller to span the pump opening in the frame that would allow you to thread a bolt into the pump (not sure of thread size) rather than prying on it after you get the large circlip out.
There's usually some stiction from the o-rings on the fuel pump holding it in the frame.

Thanks again! Is that puller something that's generic? It seems like it would be a specialty tool.

It's a specialty tool.

Wow. Is it an EBR thing or simply something you'd find at a tool type store?

[snacktoast]

EBR had a specialty tool specifically for the job.
The Buell tool for the 1125 might be similar - not sure if it's the same.
