Water damage?? Hmmm.... yeah the replacement is an upgrade with a different part number, so me thinks they already lost enough money on factory recalls (I've had 3) and are just hedging bets on the pump.

I did get the knackered pump back, I don't know if I could bench test it though (really can't be arsed refitting it)

Attach some wires odds are its only going to need 12 volts it'll either run or it wont failing that if it don't run out of shear interest id pull it apart to see what is damaged.

Nah it was fluctuating fuel pressure, the pump worked and the bike ran, but "apparently" the pump wasn't maintaining the correct fuel pressure. Which I assume would need something that could test the pressure at the output.

clamp a pressure gauge to the out let on a hose it will bounce the needle if it fluctuating wouldn't need to be a huge gauge 80-100 psi would do

remember not to run it dry or it will be fkd!!

I did ages ago, which I'd forgotten about. Ran fine once I'd put fuel back in, but perhaps it had been damaged.

The biggest problem with the FI bikes is the fuel in NZ. Most of the filters glog causing problems. If i owned one id be filtering all my fuel before it went in the tank.

2011 CRF450 did make the least peak power, but i am sure it had the most usable power and was one of the fastest in a straight line and 3rd or 4th gear roll on was better.

Yeah and realistically there aren't a lot of people that can utililze the power of a 450 so a few HP down on the other isn't going to be noticed at all. It comes down to how the bike handles and gets the power to the ground. Same old story about 450 vs the 500 2T.

Totally agree,

When you can't deal with the big 450 power , repower with a 500 2T ...

Works every time , ......Magic

Currently 4 stroke is the future, accept it.

[Jay GTI]

I've told you all before, the future is the fecking 3 stroke and as soon as I can figure out how to invent it, I'm going to be stinking bloody rich.

They're called 300 two strokes.
GasGas, KTM, Husky and TM.
Crawl like a trials bike or rip like a mx bike, tune it to do whatever you want it to do.

OR just buy a 450 and tear it up

Anyone know why none of the big 4 from Japan don't make a 300 2t ?
