Diagnose bad fuel pressure regulator on CBR954rr

[@JFizoust]

Dude you rock!!! Buddy told me I'm running rich and he can smell fuel from my exhaust when riding behind me. Quick search on forums point to FPR. Of course the Honda service manual has you breaking down half the bike to do this. Bikebandit has this part for $80 and I wanted to find how to test it before spending a bill. I really appreciate you taking the time to upload this man! Much obliged! 2003 CBR 954RR

[@DrInsane76]

One tip! If you take the fuel line off the pressure regulator be sure you have an empty fuel can ready to drain all the fuel from the tank in. :-D

[@yogisays09]

93 accord matches , exactly the same part, just bought one today and it retails half the price of the cbr ones . Location India Mumbai.

[@sunny820]

Quick and to the point. Thanks for the upload

[@sunny820]

I also like how you strapped your tank open...Will borrow the idea..

[@simpleinseattle]

Right on! That is why I dropped the video here. I am loving my 954rr. Just did a few k mile road trip. :) I put a superbike bar kit, Corbin and Buell pegs on it and can blast 500 mile days no problem.

[@nathanielyarde3997]

Great video still helping ppl. I got my fpr from anbold acura legend. Saved a ton of money on parts and bike was only down for a day

[@1970PMD]

One of my favorite bikes, I owned a 2002 for sometime, had same issue. easy fix. great vid! stay safe!

[@RMBmike]

Dude, if I lived in the Seattle area, I would #$%#$% buy you a pony keg of beer of your choice! I just did the test on my 02 954 and fuel didn't drip out, it SQUIRTED out. I will be heading to Autozone or Advance to see if they have one for a 93 Accord.

[@TXRoeJogan]

Love a short sweet video! Great job!

[@noevirgen15]

tu video me ayudó mucho your video helped me a lot I had the same problem

[@teslagaming2398]

Thank you, I have the same problem. God bless

[@papercut1987]

I'm gonna do this test tonight. My bike idles fine, but smells like it has no cat when riding and like gas/exhaust when parked inside garage....

[@familyman4193]

Awesome video! Thanks for the heads up on how to do it...

[@CottenCandyFckTart]

good call dude...mine wouldnt even start and after i ran the chack on the engine gas poured outa it

[@nikesoccer275]

Great video. Will check it along with CCT and valve clearances this winter. Very easy and straight forward. Thanks!!

[@briangutierrez5635]

have you noticed any problems like a lack of power when on the road

[@twozup1098]

Thank you.

[@classicmotorsco.46]

Thanks for Brasil

[@topgunstony]

Been there done that. great tip....

[@dannypots]

My blackbird has been getting poor gas mileage since I've had it. Fpr problem?

[@mrmcbeth]

Good vid.

[@0321ReconMan]

Awesome thanks dude!

[@dmitrijdudkin5433]

Good work man!!))

[@tomutamihai77]

what do you mean by " running really rich or really por on the botom of the rpm"?

[@simpleinseattle]

Rich = can smell fuel or gas in the exhaust fumes. Too much fuel in the fuel vs. Air ratio. Poor = slow throttle response, lag or misfiring because of the fueling problems. I hope this helps.

[@nicksedgwick5189]

Awesome video how was the bike running in low rpm’s under 4K? Stuttering?

[@simpleinseattle]

Not aa smoothe on the throttle, poor MPG and fuel smell from exhaust.

[@bojandanilovic9677]

Hi...i got one that is running pour under 3k rpm, mostly felt when cold. Its also smoking black when cold. Idle is not completely stable either. Does it sound familiar?

[@simpleinseattle]

Yes. Do the simple check.

[@bojandanilovic9677]

@@simpleinseattle its done...no leak.

[@bojandanilovic9677]

Think I'll try with new one anyway. Tnx for great video👍

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

@@bojandanilovic9677 did you get it fixed with a new regulator? Having same issue but the regulator ain't leaking

[@bojandanilovic9677]

@@bigdogbulldog9912 Got it replaced,but had no effect. I have fitted oem air filter and exhaust, and there is a noticable difference. Had it on dyno, that revealed some minor fueling issue but no faults or power loss. According to Honda tech, these bikes will run a bit rough when cold, also bit rich, especially bikes with no O2 sensor. I have ordered power commander, and I'll get it reflashed on dyno next year. Untill ill use generic file from dynojet. Season is now over,so i hope ill get a day or two for testing with power commander. I'll do my best to remember and give you an update.

[@colinmah1]

Thanks!

[@simpleinseattle]

Did you fix yours? I want to say I get 35-40MPG. Of course, it depends on how hard I am riding. Yours does sound like the FPR problem. I could actually smell excess gas on mine from the exhaust before I fixed it.

[@ianalexander716]

Was your bike not starting cause of the fuel pressure regulator

[@simpleinseattle]

It would start. Just run very rich, not smoothe on the throttle and you could smell the excess fueling.

[@ianalexander716]

@@simpleinseattle what did you replace

[@simpleinseattle]

@Ian Alexander fuel pressure regulator. It's in the video.

[@ianalexander716]

@@simpleinseattle awesome thank you

[@guefifaamine4397]

@@ianalexander716 my motorcycle does not start when cold, sometimes I find the spark plugs wet with gasoline, when it is hot it starts normally, except when driving with small noises, could that be the problem with this regulator.

[@freddydarruwala]

Hey You all, I'm facing the same problem guys but the bigger problem is that I can't find any store in USA or in India ( where my bike is ) from where I can order this part! pls Guide me!

[@davidmorenolaveaga1871]

You !@#$%^&* \ Rock MAN......... having this problem for a couple of months. Check it out myself and WOW !!!! Fixed Thanks David

[@boardbreaker118z]

Veey helpful you rock

[@freddydarruwala]

Hi all, I'm having the same problem. Can someone tell me where can I get this part available? I've tried ebay n some local sites but not good luck so far. Also can I fit other cbr's FPR on the 954? Your replies wil b appreciated!

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

If it doesn't leak could it still be bad?

[@simpleinseattle]

You could still have a vaccuum leak to the regulator. My bike ran super rich and had had some surging. Ran super smooth after with not much noticeable fuel smell. The diaphragm inside of these breaks and allows for fuel to be sucked into the vacuum line.

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

@@simpleinseattle thanks for responding and I don't think mine is running rich. it just wont revv past like 3k rpm like its struggling with gas or air. I have a vid of the problem on my page if you think you could recognize the problem I'd greatly appreciate it. I did the oil change spark plugs fuel pump. Bike was sitting for years

[@simpleinseattle]

@@gabrielgalaxygh FPR or fuel filter would be my guess.

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

@@simpleinseattle thank you. I really appreciate it

[@simpleinseattle]

I ordered mine from Ronayers.com. Also, it appears there may be the potential to use a car pressure regulator too from a 1993 Honda Accord (google it).

[@petrochemicals4u]

common on cbr 600 F4i im told !

[@freddydarruwala]

Thanks a ton buddy..shall try finding one on Ronayers.com
