$1500 for a fuel pump, yeah right

[Toaster]

Made the mistake of asking the price of a new fuel pump for a TLS down at our local Suzuki dealer,the reply from Suzuki shocked the dealer as much as me.$1500 for a bloody fuel pump,be interested to see what they are for a late model GSXR etc as there way smaller etc,How on earth can they come up with a price so absurd.

Every bloody company in NZ seems to be in the mode of price-raping us.

So much for competitive pricing, expecially compared to prices overseas.

I was told today a Transmission costs about $2k for a rideon if it shits itself,



....geez, you can pick up trannies on K road for a lot less..... apparently....

I'd love to see the injection run on 3psi......prolly save heaps on gas tho...

My thoughts exactly


Can you not run an after-market in-line pump with a decent FPR? I don't see any reason why you can't.... Would cost you F-all. The pressure at the injectors is dictated by the FPR, so why not get a sexy bling beast in there? It'll add at least 2 inches.

Surely any external high pressure efi car fuel pump will do if you can get one the right size. Go down to Repco and ask to look through their catalogue.

For $1500 I would want a it to do a shitload more than pump fuel. When will bike part importers/distributors stop molesting us? And they wander why there is little local support and buyers parallel import.

I've just recently purchased a NEW Walbro 694 from the us @ $110US and 20 bux freight. 190 lph....would be more than sufficient.
