    $1500 for a fuel pump, yeah right

    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.

    That's a biggy!

    Been buying a heap of little bits in pieces for one of my Suzukis from the local dealer. The bits are reasonably priced and surprisingly, given it's a JDM bike, available ex New Zealand. Given that, they have been getting my business.

    ARE YOU FUCKING LISTENING BLUE WING HONDA YOU PACK OF RAPISTS??!?!?

    Honda wanted to charge me around $400 for a fuel pump for my bike. I went down to the local Mini parts shop and bought a Mini fuel pump for around $140. It works perfectly fine and I haven't had a problem with it since.

    You might find the campervan mod on tlzone to be of somewhat relevance.
    $1500 for a pump, suck my dick you cock-mangling faggots.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Get on line and try the Aussie dealers. I did that for my Honda parts, found them less than half the NZ prices, even with the exchange rate and freight.

    I don't feel like asking BMW how much their one costs

    Did you tell them you didn't want the reacharound included? They're surely tugging on something...

    Funny, seeing as I was hinting they should actually give me a pump for $1500.

    A closet Honda, maybe.
