    Fuel Pump Relay

    Does anyone know where to purchase a (NEW) fuel pump relay for a 2000 Vmax? I see used ones only and can't locate a NEW 6 pin G8D-04Y OMRON Relay. I got stuck on the side of the road till I jumped the fuel pump enough to get me home. Dealer says they have 4 pin but I need 6 pin. Thanks

    Fuel pump caused the fire!!

    OK, kinda suspected so. I bought one of those $60 aftermarket fuel pumps, and I dismanteled the old burnt pump to use the original end plate with tubes in the right direction, and the original mount with studs. Good news is that all the parts easily interchange, for a new factory like pump on...

    Fuel Pump Replacement Option?

    I discovered that the plastic center piece on my fuel pump is cracked and leaking. I temporarily repaired it with some special rubberized tape, but the pump must be replaced. Will any of these work as a replacement? I'm trying to save money. Not sure what PSI is required. This was my first...

    Fix the fuel pump every few days?

    Last year, after many years of trouble-free operation, my fuel pump started the continuous clicking when the key was turned on. I found the fix here on the forum (What to do when your fuel pump clicks like a SOB) and tried it. The first time I did it, it worked for several months, then started...

    Vboost & fuel pump not cycling upon power up

    Powered up my barnfind Vmax yesterday. Since it hasn't run in 4 years, I decided to spray some oil down the intakes and spin the motor up some, without plugs, to limber it up some before installing my freshly rebuilt carbs. I left the plugs plugged in and hanging and grounded them with...

    Weird fuel pump problem?!?

    Ok, here is my problem. I changed my gauge bulbs with LED's from superbrightled.com. All of a sudden, my fuel pump would not prime the carbs when I turned the key. I tested all of the LED's and they worked fine. I also put them in different sockets and had the same problem. I took out the fuel...

    Fuel Pump Trouble

    Guys, I had a problem with my Vmax (1990) and my mechanic said it could be the Fuel Pump and Fuel Pump Relay. And so we did order the parts abroad by giving the Year Model, Engine, and Chassis number of the bike. But when the parts came to my doorstep, the Fuel Pump Relay sent was different...

    Fuel pump relay

    Is the fuel pump relay the same for all years of the V-max? Mine is an 85. I can't find it on the parts diagrams.

    Fuel Pump Issue??????

    Coming home from work the other night on the freeway doing about 75 m.p.h., my VMAX started to sputter in 5th gear like it would do when the low fuel light comes on when having to switch to RES.

    Ignition switch/fuel pump circuit?

    OK, so here's a weird one. Working on an 85. When I turn the key on, the fuel pump doesn't automatically cycle. I can hit the off/on switch several times, nothing happens. Almost by accident, I "wiggled" the ignition switch and it started pumping. Now, once it starts pumping, I can toggle...
